In my court, women and girls make decisions for themselves – you are free to pick up any adult if she chooses to accompany you.

In the dungeon you can have a 12 pack. But it’s Keystone Light.

\*Everyone’s licking up to the new King Pin  
Trying to get way up with a smile  
Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click  
Ain’t my way of living in style

Well the way that we’re living  
Is all take and no giving  
There’s nothing to believe in  
The loudest mouth will hail the new-found way  
To be king for a day\*

He can walk his fancy assed metal wrapped  
self to the curb with the trash and the lawn needs mowing. The castle keep is looking kinda ragged.  
I’m gonna see King-o-dude for a annulment. This is ridiculous.

WTH? The royal treasury is full of old railroad bonds and confederate money. Get thee to the kichens and cook up some vittles for the right and proper King and his courtiers, namely me. Wings will do fine.

Well, it’s high time I was 'preciated. I may have to switch my loyalties again. I like a good job upgrade. I hope the pay is sufficiently upped as well!

Can you get me a proper tiger. I really, really need one. Can’t be worse than my Siamese house cats.  
Also can you do anything about my errant tin can wrapped Prince. He refuses to carry out his husbandly duties. Mainly trash and yard work. How many crusades does he really need to go on? You can’t get good help these days. The peasants refuse to work. They’re kinda weak and hungry looking, just saying. I don’t presume to know affairs of the kingdom but those peasants are a problem.
