[Verse 1]
G D There was a king who wouldn't smile A D Sat on the toilet reading The Trial G D His dogs chased their tails 'round and 'round A D Midget cars arrived stuffed with clowns G A D Who served him quail eggs on toast
[Chorus]
A D Like a fish at the bottom of a pail, G D like a cricket swallowed by a whale, A Bm like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail, G A D The king who wouldn't smile
[Verse 2]
G D There was a king who never laughed A D Fell in love with a two-headed calf G D Tattooed his arm with the ace of spades A D Filled his bath with razor blades G A D But the grass made fun of his shoes
[Chorus]
A D Like a fish at the bottom of a pail, G D like a cricket swallowed by a whale, A Bm like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail, G A D The king who wouldn't smile
[Verse 3]
G D There was king who cried and cried A D Mice crawled in his shoes to die G D He cried so much that herds of deer A D gathered to lick his salty tears G A D So the king crawled under his bed.
