C#
Oh the world will sing of an English King

A thousand years from now,
   G#
And not because he passed some laws
   C#
Or had that lofty brow.
C#
While bonny good King Richard leads

The great crusade he's on,
      G# 
We'll all have to slave away
         C#
For that good-for-nothin' John!
C#
Incredible as he is inept,

Whenever the history books are kept,
                                   G#  C#
They'll call him the phony king of England.
                           G#  C#
A pox on the phony king of England!


C#
He sits alone on a giant throne,

Pretendin' he's the king,
  G#
A little tyke who's rather like
  C#
A puppet on a string,

And he throws an angry tantrum
                     
if he cannot have his way...
    G#
And then he calls for Mum,

while he's suckin' his thumb.
            C#
You see, he doesn't want to play.

C#
Too late to be known as John the First,

He's sure to be known as John the worst,
                             G#  C#
A pox on that phony king of England!

Lay that country on me, babe!

C#
While he taxes us to pieces

And he robs us of our bread,
     G#
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down
  C#
Around that pointed head,

Ah! But while there is a merry man

in Robin's wily pack,
      G#
We'll find a way to make him pay
    C#
And steal our money back.

A minute before he knows we're there...
(NO CHORDS)
Ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear!

C#                              G#  C#
The breezy and uneasy king of England,
     G#
The snivellin', grovellin',

Measly, weasely,

Blabberin', jabberin',

Gibberin', jabberin',

Blunderin', plunderin',

Wheelin', dealin',
       C#                         G#  C#
Prince John, that phony king of England,

Yeah!
