Kings And Queens lyrics
by Loudon Wainwright III
[Verse 1]
I'm as old as the King of Sweden
I can drink in Connecticut
You're a year older than the Princess Anne
I don't mean it as an unkind cut
I'll never catch King Hailie Selassie
And you'll never catch Princess Grace
No monarchy was bequeathed to we
But I'm a-hopin' that we'll find our place
[Verse 2]
At times I feel like Tutankhamun
Won't you be my Nefertiti tonight?
Hey, stock up on them tana leaves
Because the mummy's got to see the light
Ah, Napoleon had his Josephine
And Pocahontas had her Captain Smith
Hey, Queen Isabella, Ferdinand was her fella
But on Columbus she bestowed her gift
[Verse 3]
I am the king of the hully-gully
And you are the queen of slop
Doin' the hand-jive on the telly
Let's go to the hop, oh baby
I'm as old as the King of Sweden
I can drink in Connecticut (Here we go)
You're a year older than the Princess Anne
I don't mean it as an unkind cut
