A Little King Without A Crown - 1940

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 Sept 2001

Some kids have a life of ease,
with toys and ev'rything,
they never really have to do without.
This one isn't hard to please,
he takes what fortune brings,
but he's a happy fella there's no doubt.

Underneath the table
on the kitchen floor
on a soapbox upside down,
that's his castle and his word is law,
a little king without a crown.
There he's in his glory
he must be obeyed
dress'd in daddy's dressing gown
with his clothes peg soldiers on parade,
a little king without a crown.,
He's a little trouble maker
when it's time to go upstairs
pleading for those extra minutes
while he settles all his own affairs
underneath the table on the kitchen floor
on a soapbox upside down
happy and contented we adore
that little king without a crown.

Underneath the table
on the kitchen floor
on a soapbox upside down,
that's his castle and his word is law,
a little king without a crown.
There he's in his glory
he must be obeyed
dress'd in daddy's dressing gown
with his clothes peg soldiers on parade,
a little king without a crown.,
He's a little trouble maker
when it's time to go upstairs
pleading for those extra minutes
while he settles all his own affairs
underneath the table on the kitchen floor
on a soapbox upside down
happy and contented we adore
that little king without a crown.

In and out the house all day,
and making so much noise,
he hasn't got a solitary care.
Life for him is always play,
he hasn't any toys,
but then he could be happy anywhere.

Underneath the table
on the kitchen floor
on a soapbox upside down,
that's his castle and his word is law,
a little king without a crown.
There he's in his glory
he must be obeyed
dress'd in daddy's dressing gown
with his clothes peg soldiers on parade,
a little king without a crown.,
He's a little trouble maker
when it's time to go upstairs
pleading for those extra minutes
while he settles all his own affairs
underneath the table on the kitchen floor
on a soapbox upside down
happy and contented we adore
that little king without a crown.
