I believe every lyin' word you told to me   When you whispered your sweet love belonged to me   How was I to know you would let me down   Well, that's how this lonely king won this lonely crown.      So long live the king, the king of fools    The king with the castle filled with gloom   A king whose treasures are just memories of you   Long live the king, the lonely king of fools.      --- Instrumental ---      When your fling is through    I know that you'll be back once more   And the king of fools will take you back just like before   You'll fool me till you find somebody new   Then once again, I'll be the lonely king of fools      So long live the king, the king of fools    The king with the castle filled with gloom   A king whose treasures are just memories of you   Long live the king, the lonely king of fools...
