verse 1
       G         D
There was a king who wouldn't smile
A                D
Sat on the toilet reading The Trial
         G           D
His dogs chased their tails 'round and 'round
A                 D
Midget cars arrived stuffed with clowns
   G      A      D
Who served him quail eggs on toast

    A            D
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail,
     G           D
like a cricket swallowed by a whale,
     A              Bm
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail,
   G    A     D
The king who wouldn't smile

verse 2

       G        D
There was a king who never laughed
A                D
Fell in love with a two-headed calf
     G            D
Tattooed his arm with the ace of spades
A              D
Filled his bath with razor blades
     G     A      D
But the grass made fun of his shoes

    A            D
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail,
     G           D
like a cricket swallowed by a whale,
     A              Bm
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail,
   G    A     D
The king who wouldn't smile

verse 3

      G          D
There was king who cried and cried
A               D
Mice crawled in his shoes to die
       G         D
He cried so much that herds of deer
A              D
gathered to lick his salty tears
    G      A     D
So the king crawled under his bed.
