Too many cooks spoil the brew
Wanna be the king of the world
Yeah, and too many jailers makin' the news
Wanna be the king of the world

Don't tell me absolute power corrupts
Wanna be king of the world
Those are the words of the weak who can't get enough
Wanna be the king of the world

Wanna be king of the world
King, king, oh, I wanna be
Wanna be king of the world

If you take me
I'll give the world another chance
I'll make the politicians dance
Oh, you're takin' a chance either way

Now you're choked by a congress the people resent
Wanna be king of the world
I said now don't put your faith in a weak president
Wanna be king of the world

King, king, yeah, I wanna be
Wanna be king of the world
King, king, now I wanna be
Wanna be king of the world

King, king, you know that I wanna be
I wanna be king of the world
King, king, yeah, I wanna be
Wanna be the king
Wanna be the king
Wanna be king of the world
