(Herod! Herod! Herod!)

(Herod! Herod! Herod!)

(Herod! Herod! Herod!)

(Herod! Herod!)

(Herod!)

It's good to be king

And have the absolute authority

All the attributes of divinity

I'm a religion

Look how they all worship me

Don't have to be good

To be a good king

Just gotta look

Like you've got sympathy

Then keep 'em rooked and suffering

To maximize your profiting

Look how the peasants work down to the bone

As I sit up high on my velvety throne

Pulling the strings on the people below

It's so stinking good to be king

Mine is the kingdom

Mine is the power

Mine is the glory

Forever

More

Kiss the ring, babies, kiss the ring

Everybody hates me

Ha, ha, ha!

It's good to be king

And be the one who screams

"Off with his head!"

Or be the one who's deemed

Savior instead

It's delicious

To watch a man begging for his death

I put in a knife and then give it a twist

A smile opens up on my sinister lips

The joy of the crown is too much to resist

It's so stinking good to be king

(I just love it!)

Mine is the kingdom

Mine is the power

Mine is the glory, forever more

Forever more

Forever more

It's so stinking good to be king!
