about

Parody of "King of Nebraska" by Jonah Knight

lyrics

I’ve kept you subjects through the years and wars
Now I’m hearing you won’t take any more
You’re mad at all the things I tax, and now you want to take an ax
To all of our imperial bonds; how ever much you want me gone

I’m still your king, I’m still king, of America,I’m still king
And you will sing, you will sing, To the glory of your king

You’ll keep my portrait on all your walls
I know that it will still hang in ev’ry hall
I’ll send to you a massive force; My parliament has said “Of course!”
Whatever army size I need, to make sure you all bend the knee

And keep me king, I’m still king, of America, I’m still king
And you will sing, you will sing, To the glory of your king

I’m sick of all this arguing
You all should say the same thing
You talk too much of freedom
It’s a fix that will be broken

I’ve hired a bunch of Hessians
Soon school will be in session
Then all of you will learn
You should have heard instead of spoken

I’ll make sure the next time you know
That you can’t tell me no
My troops will earn your loyalty
To royalty and you’ll be

Back, you’ll be back, Happy with the Union Jack
And when push comes to shove
I’ll send a fully armed battalion, and kill your friends and family, to remind you of my love

My force of redco-o-o-oats
They will sweeten your sour no-o-o-otes

And keep me king, I’m still king, of America, I’m still king
And you will sing, you will sing, To the glory of your king

I’m still your king, I’m still king, of America, I’m still king
And you will sing, you will sing, To the glory of your king

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-daya-da
Da-da-da-da-daya-da
