If I were the king of this old crazy world
I’m telling you there’d be some changes made
In my golden crown, I’d lead the big parade
If I were king, there’d be some changes made

I’d take you from your prison, and set you on a throne
Instead of threads of linen, you’d wear a satin gown
Upon my throne so safe and sound, you’d never be afraid
If I were king, there’d be some changes made

I’d take you from your prison, and set you on a throne
Instead of threads of linen, you’d wear a satin gown
Upon my throne so safe and sound, you’d never be afraid

If I were king there’d be some changes made
I ain’t no king I’m just a fool, but in my masquerade
If I were king, there’d be some changes made
