King of the Whole World
BOB ROBERTS, RUTH BATCHELOR
A poor man wants the oyster
A rich man wants the pearl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
[Chorus]
Come on, let's sing; sing, brother, sing
'Cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
The rich man wants the princess
The poor man just wants a girl
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
[Chorus]
A poor man wants to be a rich man
A rich man wants to be a king
But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
[Chorus: x2]
Of the whole wide world
Of the whole wide world
