Lyrics

Long ago and far away, my father was the king
I came of age a cowboy prince, in the lap of luxury
Now at last I am the man they’ve handed me the keys
And man, oh man this job is tough but it don’t bother me

Cuz everything, everything is comin’ up roses
Let freedom ring, we’re marching in and thumbing our noses

Yes, everything is a-ok, all systems are a go
Just ‘cause it don’t look that way doesn’t mean it isn’t so..

Cuz everything, everything is comin’ up roses
Let freedom ring, we’re marching in and thumbing our noses,
Everything, everything is comin’ up
Comin’ up roses..

Time to make your peace with war
These tears are tears of joy
We’re fighting for a brighter day
God bless the good old boys.

Everything, everything is comin’ up roses
The choir sings, we’re bringing out the fire hoses
Everything, everything is comin’ up,
Comin up roses, you’ll see.. comin’ up roses
L’etat C’est moi, le roi…
