If I Were King Of The Forest (Extended Version)

If I were King of the Forest
Not queen, not duke, not prince
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, not cotton, 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!

Each rabbit would show respect to him
The chipmunks genuflect to him
And his wife would be queen of the main
I'll be Monarch of all I survey

Monarch of all I survey
Mo-ho-ho-ho-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-narch of all I survey

You're majesty, if you were King, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
Not nobody! Not no how!
Not even a rhinoceros?
Impoceros!
How about a hippopotamus?
Why, I'd thrash him from top to bottomus
Supposing you met an elephant?
I'd wrap him up and sellaphant
What if it were a brontosaurus?
I'd show him who's King of the forest!

How!?
How!?

Courage
What makes a king out of a slave?
Courage
What makes the flag on the mast wave?
Courage
What makes the elephant charge his tusks
In the misty mist
Or the dusky dusk
What makes the musk rat guard his musk?
Courage
What makes the Sphinx the seventh wonder?
Courage
What makes the dawn come up like thunder?
Courage

What makes the hotness not so hot?
What puts the ape in apricot?
What do they got that I ain't got?
Courage
You can say that again
