lyrics

Oh the world will sing of an English King
A thousand years from now
And not because he passed some laws
Or had that lofty brow
While bonny good King Richard leads
The great crusade he's on
We'll all have to slave away
For that good-for-nothin' John

Incredible as he is inept
Whenever the history books are kept
They'll call him the phony king of England
A pox on the phony king of England!

He sits alone on a giant throne
Pretendin' he's the king
A little tyke who's rather like
A puppet on a string
And he throws an angry tantrum
if he cannot have his way
And then he calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb
You see, he doesn't want to play

Too late to be known as John the First
He's sure to be known as John the worst
A pox on that phony king of England!

Lay that country on me babe

While he taxes us to pieces and he robs us of our bread
King Richards crown keeps slippin down around that pointed head
But while there is a merry man in Robin’s wily pack
We’ll find a way to make him pay and steal our money back
A minute before he knows we’re there ole rob will snatch his underwear

The breezy and the neezy king of England

Snivelin, grovelin
Measaly, weasaly
Ramblin, Jabberin
Jibberin, Jabberin
Plunderin, Plottin
Wheelin, Dealin
Prince John that phony king of England
