When You Are A King lyrics by White Plains
When You Are A King - White PlainsIntro
1. Strophe
The parting in your hair is hardly ever there,
wash your face, shabby in your dress
always look a mess, don't you care.
Mum is there to see you always look your best,
change your dirty vest when you gonna be a king?
1. Refrain
Never do a thing.
Four and twenty blackbirds sing a long,
royal gifts they all will bring.
When you are a king, every where you go
people bowing low, carriages to take you any where.
People never touch a thing when you are a king.
2. Strophe
Tore your shirt again, fighting in the rain
with what's his name.
Shoe black on your face, it's really a disgrace.
Mummy smiles and all the while because she loves you
she will worry so,
and if you're good you know
and where you go yo'll be a king.
2. Refrain
Never do a thing.
Four and twenty blackbirds sing a long,
royal gifts they all will bring.
When you are a king, every where you go
people bowing low, carriages to take you any where.
People never touch a thing when you are a king.
Coda
When you are a king never do a thing.
Four and twenty blackbirds sing a long,
royal gifts they all will bring.
When you are a king, every where you go
people bowing low, carriages to take you any where.
People never touch a thing when you are a king.
