King Of The World - Lyrics - Dan Bern

Well, they elected me King of the World I said, "Here's what I'm gonna do Send everybody over to China Except for me and you Strip ourselves naked, go to Beverly Center Watch movies and eat Cinnabons" I think I'm gonna like Being king of the world for a change And they said, "As king of the world You can have anything Your greedy little heart desires" I said, "All I really want Is some wide open space Where I can set forest fires I want peace and quiet I want nudity I want sex and wine and love" They said "So let it be written Your highness, So let it be done" I am the king, the king of the world It could have been you, but it's me I'm suprised you didn't hear about it It was on the cover of Newsweek November 1993 As king of the world I'll occasionally go To China to visit you guys You don't have to be afraid I don't need you to bow down I'm not God, I'm just the king, I realize Well, it might be kind of nice though If you'd kiss me feet And call me, "All knowing leader of men" If you were king of the world I'm sure you'd want the same For yourself I am the king of the world King of the world Can you believe my luck? I'm king of the world I'm king of the world I'm king of the world Can you believe my luck? I'm king of the world Woo hoo I'm the King
