The Phony King Of England Disney's Robin Hood (1973) Phil Harris

G
Oh the world will sing of an English King

A thousand years from now,

   D
And not because he passed some laws

   G
Or had that lofty brow.

G
While bonny good King Richard leads

The great crusade he's on,

      D 
We'll all have to slave away

         G
For that good-for-nothin' John!

G
Incredible as he is inept,

Whenever the history books are kept,

                                   D  G
They'll call him the phony king of England.

                           D  G
A pox on the phony king of England!

G
He sits alone on a giant throne,

Pretendin' he's the king,

  D
A little tyke who's rather like

  G
A puppet on a string,

And he throws an angry tantrum if he cannot have his way...

    D
And then he calls for Mum,

while he's suckin' his thumb.

            G
You see, he doesn't want to play.

G
Too late to be known as John the First,

He's sure to be known as John the worst,

                             D  G
A pox on that phony king of England!

Lay that country on me, babe!

G
While he taxes us to pieces

And he robs us of our bread,

     D
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down

  G
Around that pointed head,

Ah! But while there is a merry man in Robin's wily pack,

      D
We'll find a way to make him pay

    G
And steal our money back.

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

G                              D  G
The breezy and uneasy king of England,

     D
The snivellin', grovellin',

Measly, weasely, Blabberin', jabberin', Gibberin', jabberin', Blunderin', plunderin', Wheelin', dealin',

       G                         D  G
Prince John, that phony king of England,

Yeah!
