King Corn

I look down the road far as I can see
Hey, far as I can see
King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me

Queen Bee, Queen Bee, take the king by the hand
Hey, take the king by the hand
Led her master all across the land

Mr. Blackbird, Mr. Blackbird, talkin' tough and smart
Hey, talkin' tough and smart
Said if you don't want trouble, just stay out of my yard
(I'll peck out your eyes.)

And the bugs, all the bugs, evenin', night and morn
Hey, evenin', night, and morn
One hundred bugs for every kernel of corn

Mr. Mouse, he was livin' underneath the bin
Hey, fat mouse, underneath the bin
He wouldn't share with his brother, the king's hawk did him in
(Ouch.)

King Corn said to Queen Bee, girl, we got it made
Hey, girl we got it made
Everybody else is hiding in the shade

When the wind blows and the storm rises, hail it hammers down
Hey, hail it hammers down
Tear the King Corn's green robe and his golden crown

King Corn, King Corn, he's a moody guy
Hey, he's a moody guy
He makes fat times lean times in the wink of an eye

I look down the road, far as I can see
Hey, far as I can see
King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me

King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me
