King Skylark

There once was a princess Who lived in a far away land She wore the most gorgeous burgundy dress And she took off her shoes as she walked in the sand She grew up around a family of duchesses, princesses and queens Who told her to be lady like around guests But she strived to be nothing but a king And he did just that and nonetheless He began to try on dress shirts and fitted pants And he felt right at home He could then hear the chants He had more fans of his own Now it was time for his royal crowning By the ocean with the coral reef and the sharks He stood tall and spoke his words without drowning “I am King Skylark.”
