The Elephant says, "I am King 'cause I'm strong."
The Giraffe says, "I am King 'cause my neck is long."
"There's no doubt that you are all wrong,"
The Lion says, "I am King 'cause I'm double strong."

"I'm King of Kings and Lord of Lords in this land
No more back talk, any of you, 'cause I'm King
From the beginning, I was made King,"
The Lion says, "I am King and I reign."

"I'm King of Kings and Lord of Lords in this land
No more back talk, any of you, 'cause I'm King
From the beginning, I was made King,"
The Lion says, "I am King and I reign."
The Lion says, "I am King and I reign."

"King of Kings and Lord of Lords, I reign in this land,
King of Kings and Lord of Lords," The Lion says,
"King of Kings and Lord of Lords, I reign in this land,
King of Kings and Lord of Lords," The Lion says,
"King of Kings!"
