verse 1
Parting in your hair it's hardly ever there wash your face
Shabby in your dress always look a mess don't you care
Mummy's there to see you always look your best
Change your dirty vest
When you grow to be a king never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they they all will bring
When you are a king everywhere you go
People bowing low carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't touch a thing when you are a king
verse 2
Tore your shirt again fighting in the rain with what's his name
Shoe black in your face you're really a disgrace mummy smiles
And all the while because she loves you she will worry so
And if you're good you know that
When you are a king never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king everywhere you go
People bowing low carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't touch a thing when you are a king
Repeat Chorus
When you are a king never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king everywhere you go
People bowing low carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't touch a thing when you are a king
