MUST BE NICE TO BE KING

do the stars

perfectly have to align

for you to have the perfect time

does candy in the jars

leap at your command

into your impatient hand

must be nice to be king

do old phones in your dream

ring and ring and dial your wrong number

can you get by if you try when there's a little thunder

learn to be still I know you will

happy in doing not a thing at all

let the mail pile up

curdled creamy coffee in your cup be left alone

the parrot shriek and the orchids remonstrate

when it snows let the whole kingdom shut down

all over town

turning over no new stone

be glad

you are home.
