Bad King George
 

King George was a bad king
Come from a long line of rascals and thieves
King George was a bad king
He thought he could do just as he pleased

King George was a bad king
He'd kneel on the floor and then he would pray
King George was a bad king
He thought that telling fibs was okay

Oh, King George
You aren't really king
Oh, King George
You stole your way in
Bad bad bad King George
Bad bad bad King George
 

King George was a bad king
He dressed up like a pilot and then ran away
King George was a bad king
He went off to Alabama on a holiday

King George was a bad king
He gave away jobs and took from the poor
King George was a bad king
He spied and he lied and invented a war

Oh, King George
You aren't really king
Oh, King George
You did a bad thing
Bad bad bad King George
Bad bad bad King George
 

King George was a bad king
He'd look at your email and lurk on your phone
King George was a bad king
When you weren't there he'd break into your home

King George was a bad king
He'd call you his enemy and throw you in jail
King George was a bad king
Without any charges, defender or bail

Oh, King George
You aren't really king
Oh, King George
You sit there and grin
Bad bad bad King George
Bad bad bad King George
