verse 1 
             G                  D 
There was a king who wouldn't smile 
A                               D 
Sat on the toilet reading The Trial 
                  G                      D 
His dogs chased their tails 'round and 'round 
A                                  D 
Midget cars arrived stuffed with clowns 
     G           A            D 
Who served him quail eggs on toast 

        A                       D 
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail, 
         G                      D 
like a cricket swallowed by a whale, 
         A                            Bm 
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail, 
     G        A         D 
The king who wouldn't smile 

verse 2 

             G               D 
There was a king who never laughed 
A                               D 
Fell in love with a two-headed calf 
          G                        D 
Tattooed his arm with the ace of spades 
A                            D 
Filled his bath with razor blades 
          G         A           D 
But the grass made fun of his shoes 

        A                       D 
Like a fish at the bottom of a pail, 
         G                      D 
like a cricket swallowed by a whale, 
         A                            Bm 
like a chipmunk who's chewed off his tail, 
     G        A         D 
The king who wouldn't smile 

verse 3 

           G                   D 
There was king who cried and cried 
A                             D 
Mice crawled in his shoes to die 
             G                  D 
He cried so much that herds of deer 
A                           D 
gathered to lick his salty tears 
        G            A         D 
So the king crawled under his bed.
