文本歌词

Man if they just let me run things my way
This world would be a swinging place
Yeah pops
What would you do
The first thing I'd do is call a basement session
Uh pops you mean summit conference
Man I don't mean a un kind of a session
I mean a jam session
If you're king for only a day
How'd you go by having your way
Well if my every wish is your command
I'd go in from a swinging band
With all the leaders from every land
Can't you hear that messed up beat
I'll tell you now you'll need defeat
While they would fall right in a swinging groove
And all the ism's gonna move
Relationships is bound to improve
How can they all agree on one melody
Would each man call his own too
They will want the song they played all along
You're expecting too much too soon
Don't you mind I'll swing this deal
Just you seen the world of you
Say it's the only session of it's kind
Where how many you should've find
The well can take a holiday
If I'm king for a day
Yes yes yes
If I'm king for a day
Pops
You got eyes to wear a crown
I might enjoy being king
At all
But if bonning was king
And there's king oliver
There's count basie
And duke ellington
And earl fatha hines
Man quit driving me
You know that cary noel
That's his first name
No
Manny had me fooled all these years
Although my king is wise
Can't he realize
Rome wasn't built in a day
Won't a diplomat just be up to scat
In a hypocritical way
Not each day I'm playing jazz
There'll be no such rizoma dance
'Cause it's the session where we jam the blues
Cruise ship bound in bows and shoes
Couldn't have the final take
If I'm king for a day
Day
Yey
Days
If I'm king for a day
