Oh, boy, I wish I were a Queen --
I certainly would use my bean.

If I'd the throne of Queen of Spain,
I'd chuck the King out in the rain.

If only I were Queen of France,
At all the styles I'd have first chance.

If in Rumania supreme,
I'd advertise (for cash) cold cream.

In Italy if I were Queenie,
I'd get a drag with Mussolini.

If I were Queen of Babylon,
I bet you I'd have more darn fun.

But all that queenly business pales
Beside the vacant job in Wales.

To be a Princess I am ready --
You only have to ask me, Eddie.
