There was a king who wouldn't smile
Sat on the toilet reading The Trial
His dogs chased their tails 'round and 'round
Midget cars arrived stuffed with clowns
Who served him quail eggs on toast
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail,
like a cricket swallowed by a whale,
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail,
The king who wouldn't smile
verse 2
There was a king who never laughed
Fell in love with a two-headed calf
Tattooed his arm with the ace of spades
Filled his bath with razor blades
But the grass made fun of his shoes
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail,
like a cricket swallowed by a whale,
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail,
The king who wouldn't smile
verse 3
There was king who cried and cried
Mice crawled in his shoes to die
He cried so much that herds of deer
gathered to lick his salty tears
So the king crawled under his bed.
Solo
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail,
like a cricket swallowed by a whale,
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail,
The king who wouldn't smile
