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!
