You cannot be a king if that’s your name
The wizard, Armadillo, said to Kong
I’m fairly certain someone else will claim
It’s been around before. I could be wrong
I know it was your father’s choice at birth
But maybe use a middle name instead?
Your empire spans the oceans and the earth
I’m pretty sure that no one’s taken Ted
But if you really, truly, so insist
I’ll notify the monks and tell the scribes
The mighty tyrant, first on any list
Will take his place as ruler of the tribes
Let all who hear his name rejoice in song
The King - supreme, almighty - Elvis Kong!
