If I Were King Of The Forest

If I were King of the forest
Not Queen, not Duke, not Prince
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz
I'd command each thing
Be it fish or fowl
With a wussh and a wussh
And a royal growl....wunf!

As I'd click my heel
All the trees would kneel
And the mountains bow
And the bulls kowtow
And the sparrow would take wing
If I, if I were King!

Each rabbit would show respect to me
The chipmunks genuflect to me
Though my tail would lash
I would show compash
For every underling
If I, if I were King!
Just King!

Monarch of all I survey
Mo-o-o-n-a-a-a-a-arch of all I survey!
