Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Yeah, the world would swing
Oh, if I were a king
Can I help it if I
Still dream time to time?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'll be king
When dogs get wings
Can I help it if I
Still dream time to time?
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Excuse me if I
Have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time
