Well there was a little king and he was a little rascal-o
First he built a house and then he built a castle-o
At least he gave the orders to all his little workers-o
He sat on his throne, a sipping his red wine-o

Sayin' I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o
I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o

Well the castle it grew bigger and the workers they grew smaller-o
The more the king grew fat, the more he gave his orders-o
Until the job was done, he threw a big party-o
Invited all his friends but none of them were workers-o

Sayin' I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o
I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o

Well the feast went on for hours, everyone grew fatter-o
But still they gorged themselves, for that was in their nature-o
Until there was a bang that was heard for miles around-o
The castle fell to pieces like a castle built of sand-o

Sayin' I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o
I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o

Well ther's some say the bang it was caused by the workers-o
Some say it was stomachs that could simply hold no more-o
And others say they fear that there always will be bangs-o
As long as some eat all, while others must go hungry-o

Sayin' I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o
I am the king of the castle-o
And you are the dirty wee rascal-o
