LION:
In another hour, I'll be King of the Forest.
ALL:
Long Live the King!
ALL:
If....I were King of the Forest, Not Queen, not Duke, not Prince
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, and not cotton, and 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
'F -- I...'f -- 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.
'F -- I...'f -- I --- were King Just King!
ALL:
Each rabbit would show respect to him
The chipmunks genuflect to him
And his wife would be Queen of the May.
LION:
I'd be monarch of all I survey
Monarch of all I survey
Mah -- hah -- hah -- hah -- hah -- hah -- hah -- hah -- hah -- ha-narch! Of all I survey!
DOROTHY:
Your Majesty, if you were king You wouldn't be afraid of anything?
LION:
Not nobody, not nohow!
TIN MAN:
Not even a rhinoceros?
LION:
Imposserous!
DOROTHY:
How about a hippopotamus?
LION:
Why, I'd thrash him from top to bottomamus!
DOROTHY:
Supposin' you met an elephant?
LION:
I'd wrap him up in cellophant!
SCARECROW:
What if it were a brontosaurus?
LION:
I'd show him who was King of the Fores'!
ALL:
How?
LION:
How?
Courage!
What makes a King out of a slave?
Courage!
What makes the flag on the mast to wave?
Courage!
What makes the elephant charge his tusk In the misty mist, or the dusky dusk?
What makes the muskrat guard his musk?
Courage!
What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder?
Courage!
What makes the dawn come up like thunder?
Courage!
What makes the Hottentot so hot?
What puts the "ape" in apricot?
What have they got that I ain't got?
ALL:
Courage!
LION:
You can say that again! Hah. Huh!?
