To play along to this song I have my capo on the first fret (key of Intro = verse 1 Parting in your hair it's hardly ever there wash your face Shabby in your dress always look a mess don't you care Mummy's there to see you always look your best Change your dirty vest When you grow to be a king never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they they all will bring When you are a king everywhere you go People bowing low carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't touch a thing when you are a king verse 2 Tore your shirt again fighting in the rain with what's his name Shoe black in your face you're really a disgrace mummy smiles And all the while because she loves you she will worry so And if you're good you know that When you are a king never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king everywhere you go People bowing low carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't touch a thing when you are a king Repeat Chorus When you are a king never do a thing Four and twenty blackbirds sing along Royal gifts they all will bring When you are a king everywhere you go People bowing low carriages to take you anywhere Feet won't touch a thing when you are a king
