Kings and Queens Songtext
von Loudon Wainwright III

I′m as old as the King of Sweden
I can drink in Connecticut
You're a year older than the Princess Anne
I don′t mean it as an unkind cut

I'll never catch King Hailie Selassie
And you'll never catch Princess Grace
No monarchy was to bequeathed to we
But I′m a-hoping that we′ll find our place


At times I feel like the Tutankhamun
Won't you be my Nefertiti tonight?
Hey, stock up on them tanna leaves
Because the mummy′s got to see the light
Ah, Napoleon had his Jospehine
And Pocahontas had her Captain Smith
Hey, Queen Isabella, Ferdinand was a fella
But on Columbus she bestowed her gift

I am the king of the hully-gully
And you are the queen of slop
Doing the hand-jive on the telly
Let's go to the hop
Oh baby, I′m as old as the King of Sweden
I can drink in Connecticut
You're a year older than the Princess Anne
I don′t mean it as an unkind cut
