Lyrics

King for a Day

Started at the age of four My mother went to the grocery store Went sneaking through her bedroom door To find something in a size four Sugar and spice and everything nice Wasn't made for only girls GI Joe in panty hose is making room For the one and only King for a day, princess by dawn King for a day in a leather thong King for a day, princess by dawn Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me My daddy threw me in therapy He thinks I'm not a real man Who put the drag in the drag queen Don't knock it until you tried it Sugar and spice and everything nice Wasn't made for only girls GI Joe in panty hose is making room For the one and only King for a day, princess by dawn King for a day in a leather thong King for a day, princess by dawn Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me Sugar and spice and everything nice Wasn't made for only girls GI Joe in panty hose is making room For the one and only King for a day, princess by dawn King for a day in a leather thong King for a day, princess by dawn King for a day in a leather thong King for a day, princess by dawn King for a day in a leather thong King for a day, princess by dawn Just wait 'til all the guys, just wait 'til all the guys Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me
