Lyrics

It's good to be king, if just for a while To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile It's good to get high, and never come down It's good to be king of your own little town Yeah, the world would swing Oh, if I were king Can I help it if I Still dream time to time? It's good to be king and have your own way Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings You're out there with winners, it's good to be king Yeah, I'll be king When dogs get wings Can I help it if I Still dream time to time? It's good to be king and have your own world It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls A sweet little queen who can't run away It's good to be king, whatever it pays Excuse me if I Have some place in my mind Where I go time to time
