If I Were King

I often wish I were a King,
  And then I could do anything.

  If only I were King of Spain,
  I’d take my hat off in the rain.

  If only I were King of France,
  I wouldn’t brush my hair for aunts.

  I think, if I were King of Greece,
  I’d push things off the mantelpiece.

  If I were King of Norroway,
  I’d ask an elephant to stay.

  If I were King of Babylon,
  I’d leave my button gloves undone.

  If I were King of Timbuctoo,
  I’d think of lovely things to do.

  If I were King of anything,
  I’d tell the soldiers, “I’m the King!”
