    I'm gonna be the mane event like no king was before,

             C                                                                          G

    I'm brushing up on looking down, I'm working on my ROAR !

      Am                                         D

    Thus far a rather uninspiring thing.

      C                                                   G

    kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start.

 

    If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out !

                C                                   G

    Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldn't hang about.
