verse 1
       G+G         D MajorD
There was a king who wouldn't smile
A augmentedA                D MajorD
Sat on the toilet reading The Trial
         G+G           D MajorD
His dogs chased their tails 'round and 'round
A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Midget cars arrived stuffed with clowns
   G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Who served him quail eggs on toast

    A augmentedA            D MajorD
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail,
     G+G           D MajorD
like a cricket swallowed by a whale,
     A augmentedA              B minorBm
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail,
   G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
The king who wouldn't smile

verse 2

       G+G        D MajorD
There was a king who never laughed
A augmentedA                D MajorD
Fell in love with a two-headed calf
     G+G            D MajorD
Tattooed his arm with the ace of spades
A augmentedA              D MajorD
Filled his bath with razor blades
     G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
But the grass made fun of his shoes

    A augmentedA            D MajorD
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail,
     G+G           D MajorD
like a cricket swallowed by a whale,
     A augmentedA              B minorBm
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail,
   G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
The king who wouldn't smile

verse 3

      G+G          D MajorD
There was king who cried and cried
A augmentedA               D MajorD
Mice crawled in his shoes to die
       G+G         D MajorD
He cried so much that herds of deer
A augmentedA              D MajorD
gathered to lick his salty tears
    G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD
So the king crawled under his bed.
