THE PHONY KING OF ENGLAND [Verse 1]
Oh the wBborld will sing of an English King A thousand years from now And Fnot because he passed some laws Or D#had that lofty brBbow While Bbbonny good King Richard leads
The great crusade he's on

BbIncredible as he is inept Whenever the history Gmbooks are kept BbThey'll call him the Fphony king of F/CEng-lBband A pox on the Fphony king of F/CEng-lBband!
[Verse 2]
He Bsits alone on a giant throne Pretendin' he's the king A F#little tyke who's rather like A Epuppet on a Bstring And he Bthrows an angry tantrum
if he cannot have his way
And then he F#calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb You see, he Edoesn't want to pBlay
BToo late to be known as John the First He's sure to be known as AbmJohn the worst A Bpox on that F#phony king ofF#/C# Eng-lanBd!
