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

1 2 3 4!

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

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 vacuum the turf at SkyDome

Once he was the King of Spain
I can't wait, I'm lowering interest rates, my people say:

"King, how are you such a genius?

There's a roof overhead

and food on our plates!"

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

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

Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you the international orchestra!

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, King!

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 and we make switch!

Prince and pauper, junior and whopper
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 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 Fruvous!

Once he was the King of Spain

This is the second of their songs I heard (Green Eggs and Ham being the first). I always picture this guy standing at a pizza counter telling this story to kids who are waiting in line for their pizza.
