Lyrics for King Ink
King ink strolls into town He sniffs around King ink kicks off his stink-boot Sand and soot and dust and dirt and He's much bigger than you think King ink King ink King ink A wake up a king ink a get up a king ink a wake up a king ink A get up a get up a get up a get up a get up Up up up up up up up up up up... A bug crawls up the wall King ink feels like a bug And he hates his rotten shell (He says) cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha... King ink a wake up a king ink a get up a king ink a wake up a king ink A get up a get up a get up a get up a get up A what's in that room? a what's in that house? A what's in that room? a what's in that house? Say something, express thyself, say something, express yourself Express... say something loudly aaaaaahhhh... A what's in that room? a what's in that house? Sand and soot and dust and dirt and sand and soot and dust and dirt And-d-d-d-d-d-d- Di-di-di-di-di-di-di di-di-di-di-di-di dirt King ink feels like a bug Swimming in a soup-bowl He says oh! yer! oh! yer! what a wonderful life Oh! yer! oh! yer! what a wonderful life Oh! yer! oh! yer! what a wonderful life Oh! yer! oh! yer! what a wonderful life Oh! yer! oh! yer! fats domino on the radio Yer! oh! yer! what a wonderful life Oh! yer! oh! yer! what a wonderful life Oh! yer! oh! yer! fats domino on the radio Yer! oh! yer! ...
