(Dave) Royalty, lord it looked good on me Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of Monaco Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video
(Dave) (rest) Once I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie A palatial palace, that was my home now I eat humble pie I'm telling you I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie And now I vacuum the turf at SkyDome

(Jian speaking in a funny voice) "King, how are you such a genius?
(Murray speaking) There's a roof overhead
(Mike speaking in a funny voice) and food on our plates!"
(Dave) It's laissez-faire, I don't even give a care Let's make Friday part of the weekend And give every new baby a chocolate eclair

(Dave speaking) Now some of you might be wondering how I came to be living in Canada after being royalty in Spain. Should I tell them, guys?
(everyone yelling but Dave) Tell us, King! (Dave) You see late one night when the palace was asleep Out of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep And I wait till the appointed time, when the moon is lighting the pitch At which point my peasant friend, who looks just like me Arrives and we make switch!
(rest gasp)
(Dave) Prince and pauper, junior and whopper World made up of silver and copper Under my own volition, I took a change of position So next time you drool in the pizza line Remember, slower pizza's more luscious
(All) The King of Spain never rushes!!!
(Dave) (rest) Once I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie I was lookin' for off-handed ways to improve us now I eat humble pie I'm telling you I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie And now I'm jamming with Moxy Fruvous!
