There was a time when the entire population of the globe was mine to command.  
At my decree, the oceans would swell.  
These days, however, only I occupy my bed.  
And the city thoroughfares that were once part of my domain, now I’m the man who keeps them clean of debris and dust.

That’s got to be a different Marty Feldman, right?

I realized I haven’t actually listened to it in maybe 20 or 30 years,so I just put it on. Still great!

I only heard of it after moving to Chicago on the 80s.
