Oh kingston town,  
the place i long to be  
if i had the whole world  
i would give it away  
just to see, the girls at play  
ooh, ooh, ooh  

And when i am king,  
surely i would need a queen  
and a palace and everything, yeah  
and now i am king,  
and my queen will come at dawn  
she`ll be waiting in kingston town

ooh, ooh, ooh  

And when i am king,  
surely i would need a queen  
and a palace and everything, yeah  
and now i am king,  
and my queen will come at dawn  
she`ll be waiting in kingston town
