If I Were King of the Forest (Extended Version) Bert Lahr (Ft. Buddy Ebsen, Jack Haley, Judy Garland & Ray Bolger)
[LION]
If I were king of the forest
Not queen, not duke, not prince
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, and not cotton, and not chintz
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl
As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel!
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow!
And the sparrow would take wing
If I, if I, were king!
Each rabbit would show respect to me
The chipmunks genuflect to me
Though my tail would lash, I would show compash
For every underling!
If I, If I, were king!
Just king!
[DOROTHY, SCARECROW, & TIN MAN]
Each rabbit would show respect to him
The chipmunks genuflect to him
[SCARECROW]
And his wife would be queen of the May
If I were king of the forest
Not queen, not duke, not prince
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, and not cotton, and not chintz
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl
As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel!
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow!
And the sparrow would take wing
If I, if I, were king!
Each rabbit would show respect to me
The chipmunks genuflect to me
Though my tail would lash, I would show compash
For every underling!
If I, If I, were king!
Just king!
[DOROTHY, SCARECROW, & TIN MAN]
Each rabbit would show respect to him
The chipmunks genuflect to him
[SCARECROW]
And his wife would be queen of the May
