If I were king of this ole crazy world,
E B7 E B7
I'm tellin' you, there'd be some changes made.
E G# C#m A
In my golden crown I'd lead the big parade
E B7 E B7
If I were king, there'd be some changes made.
A E
I'd take you from your prison and sit you on a throne
A E B7
Instead of threads of linen, you'd wear a satin gown.
A B7 G# A
Upon my throne, so safe and sound, you'd never be afraid.
E B7 E B7
If I were king, there'd be some changes made.

But in my mascarade...
