Robin Hood movie - The Phony King of England lyrics
rate meSong 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>
