in town [01:10.08]As I arrived [01:11.21]The crowd started to cheer [01:12.40]And then someone yelled out [01:13.55]"The King is here" [01:14.91]So I headed toward stage [01:16.18]To make a speech [01:17.30]About the new style of livin' [01:18.65]I was gonna teach [01:19.67] [01:20.32]If I ruled the world [01:21.61] [01:24.84]I'd love all the girls [01:26.75] [01:27.64]I love 'em love 'em baby

[02:06.92]The crowd started sittin' [02:08.02]As I rose from my feet [02:09.27]And this was once a dream [02:10.47]I explained to the crowd [02:11.81]Now I rule the world [02:13.12]And I feel so very
