Kings And Queens

Lyrics

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 to bequeathed to we
 But I'm a-hoping that we'll find our place
 At times I feel like the Tutankhamun
 Won't you be my Nefertiti tonight?
 Hey, stock up on them tanna leaves
 Because the mummy's got to see the light
 Ah, Napoleon had his Jospehine
 And Pocahontas had her Captain Smith
 Hey, Queen Isabella, Ferdinand was a fella
 But on Columbus she bestowed her gift
 I am the king of the hully-gully
 And you are the queen of slop
 Doing 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
 You're a year older than the Princess Anne
 I don't mean it as an unkind cut
