lyrics

The king, his hips turned the blues to suede
Made black Okeh for the blue-eyed gaze
I love you, the girl shouts
I can’t help, the king sings
Oh, no, no, the people cry
Oh, no, no

By then those hips, they were bloated and slow
He’d be gone in six weeks, they’d cry oh, no, no
It was the king’s last stand, it was the king’s last stand
It was the king’s last stand, it was the king’s last stand

Good Robert, the prince of Camelot
The sad news he did proclaim
Oh, no, no, the people cry
Oh, no, no, the people wail
Oh, no, no, the people shout
Oh, no, no. And the prince he said,

Brothers, my brothers, they shot our brothers
Can this awful grace make us love one another?
Brothers, my brothers, they shot our brothers

Is this the king’s last stand? Is this the king’s last stand?
Is this the king’s last stand? Is this the king’s last stand?
Oh, no, no
