Set Before the King

Sing a song of six pence and a pocket full of rye
Four and twenty black birds baked into a pie
    When the pie was open, the birds began to sing
Wasn't that a dandy dish set before the king

    In another life at the round table with Lancelot
I tried to run away with Guinevere but I got caught
    I heard Arthur shouting to his guards,
        "Off with his head!"
They served me on a silver platter set before the king

    I took a trip to Memphis but I was so disappointed
Because I couldn't find Elvis' ghost but just a fat man sitting in a rocking
chair
    Singing, "I'm a Hunka-Hunka Burnin' Love!", echoed all throughout
Graceland
And I could not turn away, you know I just had to listen
        Set Before the King

Sometimes I wonder am I leading my life right
Sometimes I sit and ponder as the day turns into night
    I look up to the heavens and I raise my voice and sing
That someday maybe I'll be sitting up there
         Set Before the King

All songs and files were written, composed, performed, and produced by me,
Danny Gali
