IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING. 
musik: pehrsson
tekst: jørgensen

One day I took my son up and I rocked him on my knee
I said, "Now son, someday you're gonna be a man like me
Someday you're gonna look like me in shape and size
And on that day you're gonna need some good career advice

Now, why you wanna be a cowboy, why you wanna be an engineer?
Why you wanna be a fireman or a doctor, when you pick a career?
You've got good qualifications - you can wave your hand and smile
And I know you'll get the hang of the rest after a while

You got forty million people who are millin' all around you
Plus a couple of fanatics who do their very best to ground you
You got generals who salute you even if they're twice your age
And ten thousand girls who want to share your gilded cage

CH.
Well, it's good
To be the king
Can't find a reason to be blue
Yes, it's good
To be the king
I bet it will be good for you too

Well, a movie star just makes you realize what you can never be
But the king makes everybody feel like one big happy family
And people curse the government because of heavier taxation
While the king goes fishing with his friends for relaxation
