If I Were King of the Forest
(Song lyric from "The Wizard of Oz")

If I were King of the Forest,
Not Queen, not Duke, not Prince.
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl,
With a woof and a woof, and a royal growl--woof.
As I'd click my heel,
All the trees would kneel
And the mountains bow,
And the bulls kowtow,
And the sparrow would take wing
'F--I ... 'f ... I ... were King.

Each rabbit would show respect to me.
The chipmunks genuflect to me.
Though my tail would lash,
I would show compash
For every underling,
'F--I ... 'f ... I ... were King--
Just King.
