The poem
I often wish I were a King, And then I could do anything.
If only I were King of Spain, I'd take my hat off in the rain.
If only I were King of France, I wouldn't brush my hair for aunts.
I think, if I were King of Greece, I'd push things off the mantelpiece.
If I were King of Norroway, I'd ask an elephant to stay.
If I were King of Babylon, I'd leave my button gloves undone.
If I were King of Timbuctoo, I'd think of lovely things to do.
If I were King of anything, I'd tell the soldiers, "I'm the King!"
