Raggedy Ann & Andy It's Not Easy Being King
It’s not easy being king when you’re short.
It’s not easy being big when you’re small.
It’s impossible to be lord of everything you see
When you’re down so far you can’t see far at all!
But who could ever be the boss when he’s teeny?
No, your life’s a total loss when you’re a runt.
Oh, just think what I could do if I was big like you,
And I didn’t have to put up all this front.
Imagine me, an enormous king.
How they’d bow, how they’d cheer.
I’d be the emperor of everything,
But now they hardly know I’m even here!
Silence!
I can never hope to lead, I’m just a grump.
Did Napoleon succeed? Don’t be dumb.
And if he was here, you’d see he was tall compared to me!
I can hardly stand myself, do you know why?
It’s not easy being king when you’re short!
And I could die!
