I'm the king, I'm the king of fools
The king kong king of fools

But a fool always has a song
He sings it feeling proud
And before too long there's a crowd
And a fool finds himself alone
With grinning faces all around
Watch him dance 'til he falls down

I'm the king, I'm the king of fools
The king kong king of fools

Now a fool falls into a trance
He cannot help himself
He's a walking, talking someone else
And a fool buys another round
To keep out of the rain
Makes a promise to himself 'never again'

I'm the king, I'm the king of fools
The king kong king of fools
