Harold Arlen - If I Were The King Of The Forest lyrics

If I were King of the Forest, Not queen, not duke, not prince My regal robes of the forest, would be satin, not cotton, not chintz I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl With a woof and a woof and a royal growl - woof As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow And the sparrow would take wing - If I - If I - were King! Each rabbit would show respect to me The chipmunks genuflect to me Though my tail would lash, I would show compash For every underling! If I - If I - were King! Just King!
