It's great to be a king! I seem to have a knack
For taking everything I want and giving nothing back
I'll take away your jellies; I'll take away your jams
Have a nice vacation when I take your travel plans!

Now that I have the power, this is my finest hour
Nothing on this Earth can stop me now!

Everything is mine! I finally have control!
Uh, excuse me, I hope I don't sound too droll
I'll take your color TVs, and a banana, if you please
And I'll put an end to this silly world peace!

Fools! While I watch you cower, this is my finest hour
Bait you on my hook, just like a worm!
Before I crush you like a bug, come over here and give me a hug
It gives me so much joy to watch you squirm!

C'est chouette d'être le roi Ça me donne tous les droits Je prends partout ce que je veux et je le garde pour moi Je vole les jouets des enfants Je mange leurs bonbons Je sais qu'on me trouve méchant Mais je m'en fiche, c'est tellement bon ! Maintenant que j'ai le pouvoir Je vais entrer dans l'histoire Pour les singes, c'est le désespoir ! La Noix est à moi L'île est entre mes mains Excusez-moi, mais je trouve ça franchement bien C'est moi qui fais la loi Et vous n'y pouvez rien Croyez-moi, très sincèrement, je vous plains ! Quand je vous regarde trembler Je me sens revigoré Vous êtes comme des vers sur mon hameçon Avant que je ne vous écrase Comme des serpents dans la vase Chantez donc ma gloire à l'unisson !

It's great to be the king It gives me every right I take whatever I want from anywhere and keep it for myself I steal children's toys I eat their candy I know people think I'm mean But I don't care, it's so good! Now that I have the power I will go down in history For apes, it's despair! The (Coco)nut is mine The island is in my hands Excuse me, but I think that's really great I'm the one who makes the rules And you can't do anything about it Believe me, I sincerely feel sorry for you! When I watch you tremble I feel invigorated You're like worms on my hook Before I squash you Like snakes in the mud Just sing to my glory in unison!

È così bello essere re Pretendo dagli altri tutto quello che voglio E non do mai niente in cambio. È un talento È proprio un ruolo perfetto per me Vi prometto cibo a volontà Ma ve lo sottraggo di nascosto Ormai nessuno potrà più fermarmi Questo è il mio posto! Finalmente ho il potere È il mio momento di gloria Sono pronto a essere il re Più potente della storia Signore e signori, Il mondo è sotto il mio controllo Voi inchinatevi a me e siate grati Poveri animali smidollati Ruberò i vostri televisori a colori E tutto ciò che avete di valore Poi mettiamo fine a questa stupida pace nel mondo, per favore Siete solo delle esche Ma avete abbocato all'amo Il controllo e il potere sono le uniche cose che io bramo Prima che vi schiacci tutti come insetti in un purè Voi anfibi reietti, venite qui E inchinatevi al vostro potente re

It's so nice to be king I demand everything I want from others And I never give anything in return. It's a talent It's just the perfect role for me I promise you unlimited food But I steal it from you Now no one can stop me This is my place! I finally have the power It's my moment of glory I'm ready to be the most powerful king in history Ladies and gentlemen, The world is under my control You bow to me and be grateful Poor, spineless animals I'll steal your color TVs And everything you have of value Then let's put an end to this stupid world peace, please You're just the worms But you've taken the bait Control and power are the only things I crave Before I crush you all like insects in a purée You outcast amphibians, come here And bow to your mighty king

¡Es grandioso ser el rey! Y yo tengo la habilidad De obtener lo que yo quiero sin ceder jamás Sus dulces les quitaré; las florecitas aplastaré ¡Ya no habrán más vacaciones, pues los mapas yo tendré! Ahora tengo el poder, nadie me va a detener Todos me van a glorificar ¡Todo esto es mío! ¡Al fin tengo el control! Espero que no crean que soy burlón Me entregarán su televisor, y esa banana por favor ¡Y pondré fin a esta tonta paz mundial! Ahora tengo el poder, nadie me va a detener, todos me van a glorificar ¡Como gusanos los voy a aplastar! Me encanta oírlos suplicar ¡Y de mi ira nadie escapará!

It's great to be king! And I have the ability To get what I want without ever giving in I'll take away their sweets; I'll crush the little flowers There will be no more vacations, for I will have the maps! Now I have the power, no one is going to stop me Everyone is going to glorify me All of this is mine! I’m finally in control! I hope you don’t think I’m being mocking They'll give me their TV, and that banana, please And I’ll put an end to this silly world peace! Now I have the power, no one is going to stop me, everyone is going to glorify me I’m going to crush them like worms! I love hearing them beg And no one will escape my wrath!

¡Ser rey es superior! Total es mi poder Te llevas lo mejor, solo es cuestión de saber ser fuerte Me llevo tus ahorros; tú silla, y tú sartén ¡Y ese bonito cuadro me lo llevo también! Ya tengo el poder, ¿Y quién me va a detener? ¡Nadie me podrá desafiar! ¿Qué le voy a hacer? ¡Yo tengo el control! ¡Perdón por ser quien dicta el rol! Dirán que loco estoy, no me importa, cuerdo soy yo ¡Conozco el lugar a donde voy! Ya tengo el poder, ¿Quién me va a detener? ¡Si no estás conmigo ríndete! Pero únete a mí, no hay más opciones para ti ¡Y si no tú fin verás llegar!

Being king is the best! My power is absolute You get the best, it’s just a matter of knowing how to be strong I’m taking your savings; your chair, and your frying pan And I’m taking that beautiful painting, too! I already have the power, And who’s going to stop me? No one can challenge me! What am I going to do? I’m in control! Sorry for being the one who calls the shots! They’ll say I’m crazy, but I don’t care, I’m the sane one I know where I’m going! I already have the power, Who’s going to stop me? If you’re not with me, give up! But join me, there are no other options for you And if you don’t, you’ll see your end come!
