King Of Spain [cranky Monarch Version] Lyrics - Moxy Fruvous

(Dave) 

Royalty, lord it looked good on me 

Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free 

Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of Monaco 

Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video 

(Dave) 

Once I was the King of Spain 

(rest) 

Now I eat humble pie 

(Dave) 

I'm telling you I was the King of Spain 

(rest) 

Once he was the King of Spain 

(Dave) 

I can't wait, I'm lowering interest rates, my people say 

(short guitar solo) 

(Dave) 

It's laissez-faire, I don't even give a care 

Let's make Friday part of the weekend 

And give every new baby a chocolate eclair 

(Dave) (rest) 

Once I was the King of Spain Now I eat humble pie 

Hey Clinton! Hey Yeltsin! 

Got problems? You phone me Now I eat humble pie 

I'm telling you I was the King of Spain Now I eat humble pie 

Now the Habs call me up to drive the Zamboni 

(rest) 

Once he was the King of Spain 

(long guitar solo) 

(Dave speaking) 

You see late one night when the palace was asleep 

Out of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep 

And I wait till the appointed time, when the moon is lighting the pitch 

At which point my peasant friend, who looks just like me 

Arrives, we make switch! 

(All) 

Prince and pauper, junior and whopper 

World made up of silver and copper 

(Dave) 

Under my own volition, I took a change of position 

(Dave) (rest) 

Once I was the King of Spain Now I eat humble pie 

I was looking for off-handed ways to improve us Now I eat humble pie 

I'm telling you I was the King of Spain Now I eat humble pie 

And now I'm jamming with Moxy Frous! 

(rest) 

Once he was the King of Spain...
