When You Are a King Songtext
von The Nolans

Parting in your hair
It′s hardly ever there
Wash your face
Shabby in your dress
Always look a mess
Don't you care?

Mummy′s there to see you
Always look your best
Change your dirty vest
When you grow, you'll be a king

Never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king
Everywhere you go
People bowing low
Carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't ever touch a thing
When you are a king


Tore your shirt again (still the same)
Fighting in the rain
With what′s his name
Shoe black on your face (never change)
You′re really a disgrace

Mummy smiles and all the while
Because she loves you
She will worry so
And if you're good you know
That when you grow you′ll be a king

Never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king
Everywhere you go
People bowing low
Carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won't ever touch a thing
When you are a king
When you are a king


Never do a thing
Four and twenty blackbirds sing along
Royal gifts they all will bring
When you are a king
Everywhere you go
People bowing low
Carriages to take you anywhere
Feet won′t ever touch a thing
When you are a king
