I KNOW THAT YOUR POWERS OF RETENTION
ARE AS WET ASA WARTHOG’S BACKSIDE
BUT THICK AS YOU ARE,PAY ATTENTION
MY WORDS ARE A MATTER OF PRIDE
IT’S CLEAR FROM YOUR VACANT EXPRESSIONS
THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ALL ON UPSTAIRS
BUT WE’RE TALKING KINGS AND SUCCESSIONS
EVEN YOU CAN’T BE CAUGHT UNAWARES
SO PREPARE FOR A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
BE PREPAEED FOR SENSATIONAL NEWS
A SHINING NEW ERA
IS UPTOEING NEARER
AND WHERE DO WE FEAURE?
JUST LISTEN TO TEACHER
I KNOW IT SOUNDS SORDID
BUT YOU’LL BE REWARDED
WHEN AT LAST I AM GIVEN MY DUES!
AND INPJUSTICE DELICIONUSLY SQUARED
BE PREPARED!
IT’S GREAT THAT WE’LL SOON BE CONNEVTED
WITH A KING WHO’KK BE ALL-TIME ADORED
OF COURSE,QUID PRO QUO,YOU’RE EXPECTED
TO TAKE CERTAIN DUTIES ON BOARD
THE FUTERE IS LITTERED WITH PRIZES
AND THOUGH I’M THE MAIN ADDRESSEE
THE POINT THAT I MUST EMPHASIZE IS
YOU WON’T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME
SO PREPARE FOR THE COUP OF THE CENTURY
BE PREPAERED FOR THE MURKISEST SCAM
METIVULOUS PLANNING
TENACITY SPANNING
DECADES OF DENIAL
IS SIMPLY WHY I’LL
BE KING UNDISPUTED
RESPECTED,SALUTED
AND SEEN FOR THE WONDER I AM
YES,MY TEETH AND AMBITIONS ARE BARED
BE PREPARED!
YES ,OUR TEETH AND AMBITIONS ARE BARED
BE PREPARED!
