King. The lonely Lion

I’m regal and I’m royal, I’m the KING OF BEASTS it’s true;

In fact I reign quite loudy over Glen Oak Zoo.

My name is King.

My ancestral home is the African plains, the tall grass bush country.

But I was born here at Glen Oak Zoo and roam a cage for three.

This is my fling.

I’ve grown old and wise with time, and now I sit and stare

At the many children who come to see a lion in his lair.

My name is King.

I’m a bit sad and lonely too, for Maggie, my lifetime mate

Has left this life, and me, alone; now I sit and wait.

Lonely song I sing.
