He didn't much like sitting there because his throne was(diddlee-dee-dee)
       F        Bb       F
His throne was made of stone

His throne was made of marble white
       F
It's feet were made of gold

Just see what you can find"

They fetched him up a hammock
           F
But they couldn't keep it still
      Bb            F
They put him on a rocking horse
      Bb
But rocking made him (diddlee-dee-dee)
     F       Bb   F
It made him very ill
 
[Verse 6]
      F            C
They sat him on a woolsack
          F
But that rubbed up his knees
      Bb               F
They rolled him on a feather bed
     Bb
But that just made him (diddlee-dee-dee)
    F      Bb        F
It simply made him sneeze
 
[Verse 7]
      F                C
That poor old king of Nowhere
      F
Just sat there looking sad
     Bb                F
He said "If you could help me

I'd be very very (diddlee-dee-dee)
    F     Bb   F
Particularly glad"

Two mice came up from somewhere
    F
Behind their royal chum
      Bb                    F
They said "Dear king, here is a thing
    Bb
To warm the royal (diddlee-dee-dee)
      F        Bb      F
And stop you feeling numb"
 
[Verse 9]
      F              C
The thing, it was a cushion bright
     F
Of silk and gold brocade
     Bb                  F
So square and soft and small and light
     Bb
And very neatly (diddlee-dee-dee)
    F        Bb    F
Of silk and gold brocade.
 
[Verse 10]
         F            C

     F
Is smiling on his throne
     Bb
His smile is rosy
     F
His seat is cosy
   Bb                    F
Although his throne is stone, is stone
     Bb                 F
The mice have made it nice, so nice
    F     Bb   F
He is a happy king!
