THE PHONY KING OF ENGLAND [Verse 1]
        Bb
Oh the world will sing of an English King
A thousand years from now
    F
And not because he passed some laws 

   D#               Bb
Or had that lofty brow 

      Bb
While bonny good King Richard leads
The great crusade he's on
        F
We'll all have to slave away 

        D#              Bb
For that good-for-nothin' John 

Bb
Incredible as he is inept 

                     Gm
Whenever the history books are kept 

Bb                   F             F/C  Bb
They'll call him the phony king of Eng-land

             F             F/C  Bb
A pox on the phony king of Eng-land!
[Verse 2]
   B
He sits alone on a giant throne
Pretendin' he's the king
  F#
A little tyke who's rather like 

  E           B
A puppet on a string 

       B 
And he throws an angry tantrum
if he cannot have his way
            F#
And then he calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb 

            E                B
You see, he doesn't want to play 

B
Too late to be known as John the First 

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

  B           F#           F#/C#   B
A pox on that phony king of Eng-land!
[Verse 3]
         C
While he taxes us to pieces
And he robs us of our bread
     G
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down 

 F                  C
Around that pointed head 

        C
Ah! But while there is a merry man
in Robin's wily pack
      G
We'll find a way to make him pay 

    F               C
And steal our money back 

        C
The minute before he knows we're there 

                        Am
Ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear 

    C          G              G/D  C
The breezy and uneasy king of Eng-land

The snivellin' grovellin'

Measly weasely

Blabberin' jabberin'

Gibberin' jabberin' 

G5
Blunderin' Plunderin’

D5
Wheelin' dealin' 

        G5        D             Am   G
Prince John, that phony king of Eng-land
Yeah!
