Lyrics

You couldn't call him lazy
He used every trick in the book
Though people thought he was crazy
He gave a lot more than he took
His brain was full of good intentions
It's a shame he didn't get the breaks
But I thought he was worth just a little mention
At least he didn't burn the cakes
He was the king
And he wore my ring
Yeah, he was the king
Right ding-a-ling
He was the king
It didn't mean a thing
But he was the king
I think you know what I mean
He played around with the weather
And turned the sunshine into the rain
He used his best endeavors
But the queen said, "Never again"
But being kinda hard of hearing
He didn't understand her right
With the best of intentions
He turned the day to permanent night
He tried to knight the jester
Kinda dirty light-heartedly
But Jess, he wouldn't
The king took his own take of blessed ya (blessed ya)
And told him to get off one knee
But I'm all the way in celebration
He tried to give the sunshine a heel
And right across the nation
His subjects were asking him to leave
He was the king
And he wore my ring
Yeah, he was the king
Right ding-a-ling
He was the king
It didn't mean a thing
But he was the king
I think you know what I mean
He was the king
And he wore my ring
Yeah, he was the king
Right ding-a-ling
He was the king
It didn't mean a thing
But he was the king
I think you know what I mean
He was the king
And he wore my ring
Yeah, he was the king
Right ding-a-ling
He was the king
It didn't mean a thing
