If I were the king of this old crazy world   I’m telling you there’d be some changes made   In my golden crown, I’d lead the big parade   If I were king, there’d be some changes made      I’d take you from your prison, and set you on a throne   Instead of threads of linen, you’d wear a satin gown   Upon my throne so safe and sound, you’d never be afraid   If I were king, there’d be some changes made      I’d take you from your prison, and set you on a throne   Instead of threads of linen, you’d wear a satin gown   Upon my throne so safe and sound, you’d never be afraid      If I were king there’d be some changes made   I ain’t no king I’m just a fool, but in my masquerade   If I were king, there’d be some changes made
