King of the Whole Wide World

BOB ROBERTS, RUTH BATCHELOR

A poor man wants the oyster
A rich man wants the pearl

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world
The rich man wants the princess
The poor man just wants a girl

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world
A poor man wants to be a rich man
A rich man wants to be a king

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing
He's the king of the whole wide world
Come on let's sing, sing brother sing
'cause the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world
Of the whole wide world
Of the whole wide world
