[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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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.
