What fun, what fun, this is a blast
I’ve risen in the world so fast
That I just laugh at everything
Because I can! Because I’m “king.”
Laughter is a wondrous thing
It blocks out problems, it’s freeing;
It tells the world to “cool it” ‘til
Another day—they’ll be there, still.
Or, maybe they will go away—
Yeah, maybe so, and that’s okay
Because I really don’t know how
To fix the problems, anyway.
And so, I laugh and laugh and plan
My next trip—I love travelin’ and
Bein’ on TV, ya know,
Like the Oprah Winfrey Show.
It’s fun. She loves me, I’m a star,
I mean, jess look at where I are!
Why, I made his’try; and you can bet
That I ain’t hardly started yet.
I mean, the border mess can wait
THIS is my predestined fate
Well, after all, I didn’t ask
For the messy border task
I’m VP of this nation and
Everyone best understand
It won’t be long, I bet, until
I will be king of the hill!
And you just watch how my new staff
Will hop-to when they hear my laugh!
