Robin Hood movie - The Phony King of England lyrics

Song by Phil Harris<br /><br>

Oh the world will sing of an English King <br>

A thousand years from now <br>

And not because he passed some laws <br>

Or had that lofty brow <br>

While bonny good King Richard leads <br>

The great crusade he's on <br>

We'll all have to slave away <br>

For that good-for-nothin' John <br>

<br>

Incredible as he is inept <br>

Whenever the history books are kept <br>

They'll call him the phony king of England<br>

A pox on the phony king of England! <br>

<br>

He sits alone on a giant throne <br>

Pretendin' he's the king <br>

A little tyke who's rather like <br>

A puppet on a string <br>

And he throws an angry tantrum <br>

if he cannot have his way <br>

And then he calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb <br>

You see, he doesn't want to play <br>

<br>

Too late to be known as John the First <br>

He's sure to be known as John the worst <br>

A pox on that phony king of England! <br>

<br>

While he taxes us to pieces <br>

And he robs us of our bread <br>

King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down <br>

Around that pointed head <br>

Ah! But while there is a merry man <br>

in Robin's wily pack <br>

We'll find a way to make him pay <br>

And steal our money back <br>

<br>

The minute before he knows we're there <br>

Ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear <br>

The breezy and uneasy king of England <br>

The snivellin' grovellin' <br>

Measly weasely <br>

Blabberin' jabberin' <br>

Gibberin' jabberin' <br>

Blunderin' <br>

Wheelin' dealin' <br>

Prince John, that phony king of England <br>

Yeah!<br>

<br>
