no longer will i beneath you shelter   all that you have given to me   it was never on my behalf         all this, all and more i cede to you   swear away in fealty   as i sail for warmer climes         i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!         what's this camaraderie of country   that turns before me salty   rust on fragile parts         all this, all you have inspired   the crew and ship of empire   rig and mast and spars   box of stripes and stars         i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!         you, sailor, on the lonely sea   will you turn and promise me   you'll always be alive         oh i might stutter, i might falter   sail uncharted waters   drowning, lost, then found   drowning, lost, then found         i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!         you, sailor, on the lonely sea   will you turn and promise me   you'll always be alive
