Verse

A poor man wants the oyster

A rich man wants the pearl

 But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

 He's the king

 of the whole wide world

Chorus

 Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

  'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

  He's the king

 of the whole wide world

REPEAT

The rich man wants the princess

The poor man just wants a girl

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

A poor man wants to be a rich man

A rich man wants to be a king

But the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Come on let's sing, sing brother sing

'Cos the man who can sing when he hasn't got a thing

He's the king of the whole wide world

Of the whole wide world

Of the whole wide world
