If I Were King - by A.A. Milne




A. A. Milne
If I Were King
-----------
 A. A. Milne (1882-1956)

I often wish I were a King,

And then I could do anything.
If only I were King of Spain,
I'd take my hat off in the rain.

If only I were King of France,

I wouldn't brush my hair for aunts.

I think, if I were King of Greece,

I'd push things off the mantelpiece.

If I were King of Norroway,

I'd ask an elephant to stay.

If I were King of Babylon,

I'd leave my button gloves undone.

If I were King of Timbuctoo,

I'd think of lovely things to do.

If I were King of anything,

I'd tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"

Bert Lahr, the Cowardly Lion
