KING OF THE TOWN (Wilde)

I didn’t vote in this stupid election

I couldn’t make a selection

All the candidates looked the same to me

 

I’m not sure what really went down

I was asleep when the ballots came ‘round

I woke up and found they’d elected me king of the town

 

Now I’m king

I’m king of this town

No time to mess around

‘Cause now I’ve got a job to do

 

I’m king

I make all the rules

I’m sitting on the jewels

Surrounded by a pack of fools

 

I’m king

I control the mob

I didn’t want this job

But sitting on the throne I decided

I might make a few rules of my own

 

Rule number one

You gotta have fun

Have a good time but just get the job done

 

Rule number two

You have to be true

In everything you say and everything you do

 

Rule number three

Go climb a tree

The higher you climb the farther you can see

 

Rule number four

Don’t slam the door

I don’t like loud noises, it’s time for my nap

That’s all the rules for now but when I wake up I’ll think of some more.
