The King & I
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Evil sits upon his throne,
Umon spitzen any more.
Keeps it all to himself,
Doesn't care for anybody else.
See them curse that sound!
See them curse that sound!
King of the castle and all the men,
There's always given do nothing he'll send.
Way-o, the games and our fun!
Children, be wise!
See them cut him down!
See them curse that sound!
There's power in numbers,
And there's numbers in ye.
The lannin tell you,
What you should do.
There's power in numbers,
And there's numbers in ye.
So lay out Ballmer,
So you won't see it.
Oh, the king oh you so strong,
Over all the children came together.
You found you can fool anyone,
Its just a week, mon.
See them curse that sound!
See them curse that sound!
Things always come around,
Oh yem, laugh before ye run!
You've stolen mon's crown,
And they'll be runnin' all the time!
See them cursed sound!
See them cursed sound!
See them curse in town!
See them cursed sound!
See them curse in town!
See them curse in town!
See them cursed sound!
