Chords with lyrics

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

G+G
Oh the world will sing of an English King

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

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

Whenever the history books are kept,
                  D MajorD G+G
They'll call him the phony king of England.
              D MajorD G+G
A augmentedA pox on the phony king of England!

G+G
He sits alone on a giant throne,

Pretendin' he's the king,
 D MajorD
A augmentedA little tyke who's rather like
 G+G
A augmentedA puppet on a string,

And he throws an angry tantrum

if he cannot have his way...
  D MajorD
And then he calls for Mum,

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

G+G
Too late to be known as John the First,

He's sure to be known as John the worst,
               D MajorD G+G
A augmentedA pox on that phony king of England!

Lay that country on me, babe!

G+G
While he taxes us to pieces

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

Ah! But while there is a merry man

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

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

G+G               D MajorD G+G
The breezy and uneasy king of England,
   D MajorD
The snivellin', grovellin',

Measly, weasely,

Blabberin', jabberin',

Gibberin', jabberin',

Blunderin', plunderin',

Wheelin', dealin',
    G+G             D MajorD G+G
Prince John, that phony king of England,

Yeah!
