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

        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

        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.
