Swing Like a King
from the drag king musical HILLBILLIES ON THE MOON © Words & music © A Toone 1996. Key of C
You gotta swing, swing, swing like a King if you want it all,
You gotta walk, walk, walk your talk, boy ya gotta walk tall,
You gotta roll with it, stroll with it, boy
To be the king of it allBRIDGE:
Don't ya long for over yonder, where the grass is always green
Or maybe for a far off land where you can find your queen
Cuz maybe she's a-waitin', right outside your door
But your so busy dreamin' that you never even saw'er.You gotta swing, swing, swing like a King and a gentleman,
You gotta rock, rock, rock those bobby-sox, boy we shake when we can,
You gotta roll with it, stroll with it, boy
That is the lay of the land.BRIDGE:
Don't ya long for over yonder, where the grass is always green
Or maybe for a far off land where you can find your queen
Cuz maybe she's a-waitin', right out in the car
But your so busy dreamin' that you never even saw'er.
You gotta swing, swing, swing like a King and just let 'em all talk,
You gotta saunter in with that royal grin to be the King of the block,
You gotta look sharp leastways boy to be the cock-of-the-walk!
BRIDGE:
Don't ya long for over yonder, where the grass is always green
Or maybe for a far off land where you can find your queen
Cuz maybe she's a-waitin', and we'll all be royalty
But your so busy dreamin' that you never even seeYou gotta swing, swing, swing
You gotta swing, swing, swing
You gotta swing, swing, swing
You gotta swing, swing, swing
You gotta roll with it, stroll with it, boy You gotta swing like a King
You gotta swing like a King
