Ummmm, I don't think so. It goes something like this:

King of Spain

(Dave as The King)
Once I was the King of Spain
(Jian)
The King of Spain, live in Buffalo
(Dave)
Oh... my unspeakable wife, Queen Lisa
(Murray)
Don't mention Lisa.
(Dave)
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain
(Murray)
The King a former conehead
And now I work at the Pizza Pizza

(Jian and crowd yelling)
1 2 3 4!

(Dave)
Royalty, lord it looked good on me
Buried in silk in the royal boudoir or going nuclear free
Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of Monaco
Telling my jokes to the OPEC leaders, getting it all on video

(Dave) (rest)
Once I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie
A palatial palace, that was my home now I eat humble pie
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie
And now I vacuum the turf at SkyDome

(rest)
Once he was the King of Spain

(Dave)
I can't wait, I'm lowering interest rates, my people say:

(Jian speaking in a funny voice)
"King, how are you such a genius?

(Murray speaking)
There's a cone on your head.

(Mike speaking in a funny voice)
Bonita!"

(Dave)
It's laissez-faire, I don't even give a care
Let's make Friday part of the weekend
And give all of these people chocolate eclair

(Dave) (rest)
Once I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie
Hey Clinton! Hey Yeltsin! Got problems?
You phone me now I eat humble pie
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie
Now the Leafs call me up to drive the Zamboni

(rest)
Once he was the King of Spain

(Dave speaking)
Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you Stan Makita and the Players!

(rest do vocal solos)

(Dave speaking)
Now some of you are probably very curious how the King of Spain came to
be living in North America, working at these minimum wage jobs.
(Jian)
How did it happen, King?
(Dave)
Yes, everybody wants to know, don't they?
(Murray)
Most people.
(Dave)
And as literary convention would have it, this song has an epilogue.
Are you curious about the epilogue?
(everyone yelling )
Do you want to know?
(audience response)
Tell us, King!
(everyone yelling )
Do you want to know?
(audience response)
Tell us, King!
(everyone yelling )
Do you want to know?
(audience response)
Tell us, King!
(Dave)
Should I tell them then, guys?
(Murray, Mike, Jian and audience)
Tell us, King!
(Dave)
You see late one night when the palace was asleep
Out of my royal chambers and into the garden I creep
And I wait till the appointed time, when the moon is lighting the pitch
At which point my peasant friend, who looks just like me
Arrives and we make switch!

(rest gasp)

(Dave)
Prince and pauper, junior and whopper
World made up of silver and copper
Under my own volition, I took a change of position
So next time you drool in the pizza line
Remember, slower pizza's more luscious

(All)
The King of Spain never rushes!!!

(Dave) (rest)
Once I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie
I was lookin' for off-handed ways to improve us now I eat humble pie
I'm telling you I was the King of Spain now I eat humble pie
And now I'm jamming with Moxy Fruvous!

(rest)
Once he was the King of Spain

(Jian, fading)
Give it up for the King of Spain

Mar "FOUR?!? Who am I and what have I done with myself? vin
