From the recording This Land
Lyrics
Hey baby, I hear it’s all over town
You’ve been looking for a lover
Someone who won’t let you down
Hey baby, I think you know that its true
I might have had a lot of lovers
But that was all before you
We don’t have a lot of money or drive a brand new car
But if I’m with you, it doesn’t matter where we are
And it’s nice to be the king, I’m not in charge of anything
I’ve got the world on a string, and everyday is spring
It’s nice to be the king
Hey baby, whenever you come around
It’s so easy not to notice
My feet they don’t touch the ground
And hey baby, you know I’m hung up on you
You’ve got a way to make me happy
With everything that you do
There’s a castle on the corner, well it may never be mine
But if I’ve got you, babe you know I’m doing fine
And it’s nice to be the king, I love the music when it swings
I dig Sinatra when he sings, and every little thing
It’s nice to be the king
Some people dream of being famous, the star of screen and stage
But I don’t care, it doesn’t matter anyway
Cause it’s nice to be the king, with all the accolades it brings
I’ve got a little bell to ring if I need anything
It’s nice to be the king
Yeah, it’s nice to be the king, it’s good to be the king
You know its not a summer fling that’s my reasoning
It’s nice to be the king
