Lyrics
King Is Dead
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.
The king is dead, long live the king
Prince Hamlet is stricken with grief
His mother has married the new king
Scarcely after her old husband the old king is dead
The king is dead, long live the king
Prince Hamlet now does choke
Prince Hamlet’s heart is broke
His mother copulates with the new king
While her old husband’s corpse is still warm
The king is dead, long live the king
Prince Hamlet is filled with grief
He feels as if his father has been stolen by a thief
His mother’s orgasmic cries
When her old husband has just died
The king is dead, long live the king
