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 Cinnamons" 

I think I'm gonna like 

Being king of the world 

For a change 

They said, "As king of the world 

You can have anything 

Your greedy royal 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 surprised 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 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
