If I Only Had a Reign

Sung to the tune of "If I Only Had a Brain"

Lyrics by Caterina Fregoso, O.L.

With collaboration from HE Crandall and Lady Eleanor Cleavley

 

 

 

I would have all of the power;

My courts go on for hours,

And no one would complain!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

I would rule o'er the peasants

And they'd all bring me presents;

If I only had a reign!

 

I would give out recognition

While in my new position

To anyone I name!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

And their heads they'll be scratchin'

While my plots are busy hatchin',

If I only had a reign!

 

Picture me, the King I'd be,

Underneath the Sable Star!

(spoken) Your Majesty!  You are so fine! (with both hands over heart: glub, glub)

I see a wench, (aside: Oui!) 

She's French!

 

I would flirt with all the ladies

And drive the wenches crazy

At the sound of my name!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

I could get somethin' cookin'

If the Queen wasn't lookin',

If I only had a reign!

 

I'd be garbed by all the Laurels

In silks brocades and florals,

My clothes would be my fame!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

They would sit in my circle,

Hold they're tongues 'til they turned purple,

If I only had a reign!

 

 

My queen would be serene

And do everything a Queen's supposed to do.

In court she wouldn't say a word, (with fingers: snap, snap)

Until I say, that it's okay!

 

All the Pelicans who service

And Lions make me nervous,

But now all that would change!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

'Cause they all work for me-e

And how happy I shall be-e,

If I only had a reign!

 

All my Knights will bow before me,

Swear on my sword to serve me

And on their belts and chains!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

They'll agree with my thinkin'

Or I'll get their spurs a clinkin',

If I only had a reign!

 

Oh can't you see in front of me

All the Populace down on their knees!

They swear their oaths upon my name

And on my Crown,

'Til I step down!

 

Barons and their Baronesses,

With long and flowing tresses

Would have to do the same!

On their knees, they'll be swearin'

Or their hats they won't be wearin',

If I only had a reign!

 

'Cause they all work for me-e 

And how happy I will be-e,

If I only had a reign!
