Can't Buy A Thrill

Kings

by Steely Dan

on Can't Buy A Thrill (1972)

Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin'

We've seen the last
Of Good King Richard
Ring out the past
His name lives on and on

Roll out the bones
And raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass
To Good King John

While he plundered far and wide
All his starving children cried
And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line

We've seen the last
Of Good King Richard
Ring out the past
His name lives on and on

Roll out the bones
And raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass
To Good King John

And though we sung his fame
We all went hungry just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line

We've seen the last
Of Good King Richard
Ring out the past
His name lives on and on

Roll out the bones
And raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass
To Good King John

Raise up your glass
To Good King John
Raise up your glass
To Good King John
