"If I Were King of the Forest" Lyrics
Music by Harold Alren and Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg
Recorded October 11, 1938 and May 8, 1939

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
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
Woof

As I click my heel
All the trees would kneel
And the mountains bow
And the bulls tow tow
And the sparrow would take wing
If I
If I were king

Each rabbit would show respect to me
The chipmunks genuflect to me
Them a-tail would lush
I would show compash
For every underling
If I
If I were king
Just king

Nanuck!
Over all I shall reign
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaah nuts
And I
I
Shall reign

Your majesty, if you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
Not nobody! Not know how!
Not even a rhinocerous
Impocerous
How 'bout a hippopotamous
I'd thrash him from top to bottomus
Supposin you met an elephant
I'd rap him up in cellaphin
Or a brontosaurus
I'd show him who was 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 tusk
In the misty mist or the dusky dusk?
What makes the muskrat guard his musk?
Courage
What makes the Sphinx the seventh wonder?
Courage
What makes the dawn come up like thunder?
Courage
What makes the hottentot so hot?
What puts the ape in apricots
Whatta they got that I ain't got?
Courage!
You can say that again!

Courage is the thing of things
With courage I'd be king of kings
The whole year round
I'd be hailed and crowned
By every living thing
If I
If he
If I
If he
If I were ki--
King
