If I Were King Of The Forest - Extended Version

Lyrics

If I were King of the Forest
 Not queen, not duke, not prince
 My regal robes of the forest
 Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz
 I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl
 With a woof and a woof and a royal growl
 As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel
 And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow
 And the sparrow would take wing - If I - If I - were King!
 Each rabbit would show respect to me
 The chipmunks genuflect to me
 Though my tail would lash, I would show compash
 For every underling!
 If I - If I - were King!
 Just King!
 Each rabbit would show respect to him
 The chipmunks genuflect to him
 And his wife would be queen of the main
 I'll be Monarch of all I survey
 Monarch of all I survey
 Mo-ho-ho-ho-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-narch of all I survey
 You're majesty, if you were King, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
 Not nobody! Not no how!
 Not even a rhinoceros?
 Impoceros!
 How about a hippopotamus?
 Why, I'd thrash him from top to bottomus
 Supposing you met an elephant?
 I'd wrap him up and sellaphant
 What if it were a brontosaurus?
 I'd show him who's King of the forest!
 How!?
 How!?
 Courage
 What makes a king out of a slave?
 Courage
 What makes the flag on the mast wave?
 Courage
 What makes the elephant charge his tusks
 In the misty mist
 Or the dusky dusk
 What makes the musk rat guard his musk?
 Courage
 What makes the Sphinx the seventh wonder?
 Courage
 What makes the dawn come up like thunder?
 Courage
 What makes the hotness not so hot?
 What puts the ape in apricot?
 What do they got that I ain't got?
 Courage
 You can say that again
