I′ve been lying like a rug
And for ten long years I've had to pay my dues
For the last gold has been dug
It was waiting there, so how could I refuse?
I'm returning home a hero
Who′s discovered mighty wealth
And what better husband could a princess choose?
I′m the suitor who will suit her
Bring the kingdom back to health
And I'll wear the crown, for how could I refuse?
Ah... it′s... a temporary setback
But conviently my ego doesn′t bruise
And the moment that I get back I will show them who's the boss
You can bet your bullion there'll be no "I do′s"
Yes suppose the girl goes missing
And the king says "au revoir"
Bring her back and make the news
Then the queen will be so grateful
That she′ll pledge the heir to moi
ALL: So get ready with the roses and stand by with the champagne
When you′ve got a brilliant plan you never lose
Yes before the chapter closes
I'll be as big as Charlemagne
It′s a thankless job but how can I refuse
