I'm brushing up on looking down 
    G             D

              G 
No one saying do this 
  
[Now when I said that, I--] 
              Em7 
No one saying be there 
  
[What I meant was...] 
              A7 
No one saying stop that 
  
[Look, what you don't realize...] 
              Dsus4 D 
No one saying see here 
  
[Now see here!] 
Em           Em7       A7

Arranged a heart to heart 
G7 
Kings don't need advice 
            G               D 
From little hornbills for a start

If this is where the monarchy is
 D 
 headed

       G               G7 
Out of service, out of Africa 
  G              D       Dsus4 D 
I wouldn't hang about... aagh! 
Em                    Em7          
This child is getting wildly out of
 A7 
 wing

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
