King Of Spain Lyrics

Once I was the King of Spain
(now I eat humble pie)
Oh, my unspeakable wife, Queen Lisa
(now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain
(now I eat humble pie)
And now I work at the Pizza Pizza

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!

ba ba ba...

Royalty
Lord, it looked good on me.
Buried in silk in the royal boudoir
or going nuclear free
Or playing crockinole
with the princess of Monaco
Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders
Getting it all on video

Once I was the King of Spain
(now I eat humble pie)
A palatial palace: that was my home
(now I eat humble pie)
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain
(now I eat humble pie)
And now I vaccuum the turf at Skydome
(Once he was the King of Spain)

ba ba ba...

I can't wait
I'm lowering interest rates
My people say, "King, how are you such a genius?"
"There's a roof on my head!" "And food on my plate!"
It's laissez-faire!
I don't even give a care!
Let's make Friday part of the weekend
and give every new baby chocolate eclair!

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 Leafs call me up to drive the Zamboni
(Once he was the King of Spain)

((spoken)) Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the international orchestra!

ba ba ba...

((spoken)) Now, some of you might be wondering how I came to be living in Canada after being royalty in Spain. Should I tell them, guys?

TELL US PLEASE!!

You see, late one night
When the palace was asleep
out of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep
And I wait, 'til the appointed time
when the moon is lighting the pitch
At which point my peasant friend (Who looks just like me) arrives and we make a switch!

((gasp))

Prince and pauper, junior and whopper
A world made up of silver and copper
Under my own volition
I took a change of position

So next time
you drool in the pizza line
remember, slower pizza's more luscious,
THE KING OF SPAIN NEVER RUSHES!

Once I was the King of Spain
(now I eat humble pie)
I was lookin' for offhanded 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 Fruvous
(once he was the King of Spain)
