The King of the Forest
If I were the King of the Forest
I,d have a laptop installed in every tree
a GPS for lionesses
robots for cleaning messes
there'd be no need for marking territory with pee
If I were the King of the Forest
I,d stop this stuff of parading around in the buff
there'd be a law against snoring
silk blanketed flooring
and no loud roaring trying to prove that your tough
If I was the King of the Forest
I,d have a delivery boy deliver my meat
Hunting and gathering might be bold
but what about when I get old?
Besides I,ll eat the delivery boy for my treat
If I were the King of the Forest
I,d have a stylist to do my mane
I,d use the best shampoo
some conditioner too
Hey, if you're the King you're supposed to be vain
If I were the King of the Forest
I,d invite the Whole World for a unique meet and greet
from the bankers to the florists
you can all be the tourists
and have a chance to sit in the King's seat
If I were the King of the Forest
it would be a great and wonderful town
I,d build a fast modern train
with a sign that says, "Come Again"
Heck, I'd even let you try on the King's crown!
