[KING KOO-KOO]
Tell it like ya' see it, dollface. I. Am. Short!

[ANN]
You're not so short!

[KING KOO-KOO]
Yes I am!
IT’S NOT EASY BEING KING WHEN YOU’RE SHORT
IT’S NOT EASY BEING BIG WHEN YOU’RE SMALL
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE LORD OF EVERYTHING YOU SEE
WHEN YOU’RE DOWN SO FAR YOU CAN’T SEE FAR AT ALL!

BUT WHO COULD EVER BE THE BOSS WHEN HE’S TEENY?
NO, YOUR LIFE’S A TOTAL LOSS WHEN YOU’RE A RUNT
OH, JUST THINK WHAT I COULD DO IF I WAS BIG LIKE YOU
AND I DIDN’T HAVE TO PUT UP ALL THIS FRONT

IMAGINE ME, AN ENORMOUS KING
HOW THEY’D BOW, HOW THEY’D CHEER
I’D BE THE EMPEROR OF EVERYTHING
BUT NOW THEY HARDLY KNOW I’M EVEN HERE!
SILENCE!

I CAN NEVER HOPE TO LEAD, I’M JUST A GRUB
DID NAPOLEON SUCCEED? DON’T BE DUMB
AND IF HE WAS HERE, YOU’D SEE HE WAS TALL COMPARED TO ME!
I CAN HARDLY STAND MYSELF, DO YOU KNOW WHY?
IT’S NOT EASY BEING KING WHEN YOU’RE SHORT!
AND I COULD DIE!
