Intro

 Well down your tools and play the game

 of an ordinary fairy tale - at least in there you cannot fail.

 Get back to basics and play the child's way.

 At least in there you cannot get hurt - no rules and regulations there.

Chorus

 Cause I could be a king

 I could be anything I want

 I could be a poem

 I could be some writing on the wall

 I could be a super hero - staring down the barrel of a gun

 I could be a piece of artwork fading into the sun

Verse

 Will you please down your tools

and play the game

Of an ordinary fairy tale - at least in there you cannot fail

 It's a shame I know but I have to go

I've had something planned for weeks and weeks

This situation's changed you see.

Chorus

 I could be a king

 I could be anything I want

 I could be a poem

 I could be some writing on the wall

 I could be a super hero - staring down the barrel of a gun

 I could be a piece of artwork fading into the sun. Yes I could be a king!

Oh, oh oh, oh.

Oh - oh - oh oh - oh, oh, oh oh, oh. Oh, I could be a king.

Oh, oh oh, oh.

Oh - oh - oh oh - oh, oh, oh oh, oh. Yes I could be a king.

Oh, oh oh, oh.

Oh - oh - oh oh - oh, oh, oh oh, oh. Oh, I could be a king.

Oh, oh oh, oh.

Oh - oh - oh oh - oh, oh, oh oh, oh.

 I could be a super hero - staring down the barrel of a gun

 I could be a piece of artwork fading into the sun.

+pause+

Oh, oh oh, oh.

Oh - oh - oh oh - oh, oh, oh oh, oh.
