If I Were The King Of The Forest

If (C)I were king of the forest,

not queen, (F)not duke, (C)not prince,

(C)my regal robes

of the forest,

would be satin, and not cotton,

and not (F)chintz.

I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl,

with a (Dm)woof and a woof and a (C)royal growl.

Woof. As I'd (C5)click my heel,

all the trees would kneel and the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow.

And the (F)sparrow would take (Gm7)wing,

if (C)I, if I were (F)king!

(F7)Each (Bb)rabbit would show respect to me.

The (F)chipmunks genuflect to me.

Though my (Gbdim)tail would lash, I would show compash' for every underling!

If (Bb)I, if I were king,

just (Bb)king!

(Fm7)(Cm)Monarch of all and I shall (C7)reign.

(Fmadd11)Mohaaaaaaonarch of (Bb)all I (Eb)survey!
