Once I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)

Oh... my unspeakable wife, Queen Lisa (now I eat humble pie)

I'm telling you I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)

And now I work at the Pizza Pizza



Royalty, lord it looked good on me

Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free

Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of Monaco

Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video



Once I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)

A palatial palace, that was my home (now I eat humble pie)

I'm telling you I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)

And now I vacuum the turf at SkyDome (once he was the King of Spain)



I can't wait, I'm lowering interest rates, my people say:

"King, how are you such a genius?

There's a roof overhead and food on our plates!"

It's laisez-faire, I don't even give a care

Let's make Friday part of the weekend

And give every new baby a chocolate eclair



Once I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)

Hey Clinton! Hey Yeltsin! Got problems? You phone me (now I eat humble pie)

I'm telling you I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)

Now the Leafs call me up to drive the Zamboni (once he was the King of Spain)



Now some of you are probably wondering how I cam to be living in Canada

after being royalty in Spain. Should I tell them, guys?

Tell us, King!



You see late one night when the palace was asleep

Out of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep

And I wait till the appointed time, when the moon is lighting the pitch

At which point my peasant friend, who looks just like me

Arrives and we make a switch

Prince and pauper, junior and whopper

World made up of silver and copper

Out of my own volition, I took a change of position

So next time you drool in the pizza line

Remember, slower pizza's more luscious

The King of Spain never rushes!!!



Once I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble)

I was looking for off-handed ways to improve us (now I eat humble pie)

I'm telling you I was the King of Spain (now I eat humble pie)

And now I'm jamming with Moxy Frvous! (once he was the King of Spain)
