[00:10.55]Black diamonds and pearls
[00:12.67]
[00:15.46]If I ruled the world
[00:20.70]
[00:40.32]If I ruled the world
[00:41.54]Was king on the throne
[00:42.61]I'd make peace in every culture
[00:43.87]Build the homeless a home
[00:45.09]I'm not runnin'
[00:46.01]For Congress or the President
[00:47.76]I'm just here
[00:48.37]To tell the world
[00:49.21]How my story went
[00:50.01]You see first it was a dream
[00:51.38]I was livin' in Rome
[00:52.61]And then I moved to London
[00:53.91]Bought a brand new home
[00:55.17]And everywhere I went
[00:56.35]I drew lots of attention
[00:57.76]Like a stretch Limousine
[00:58.84]One of those new inventions
[01:00.50]It took a few years
[01:01.59]Fore the day had come
[01:02.65]But I was ruler of the world
[01:04.02]Ranked number one
[01:05.19]So I headed towards Washington
[01:06.55]To claim the crown
[01:07.72]Let the whole world know that
[01:09.18]The King was in town
[01:10.39]As I arrived the crowd started to cheer
[01:12.69]And then someone yelled out
[01:14.05]The King is here
[01:15.23]So I headed toward stage
[01:16.57]To make a speech
[01:17.64]About the new style of livin'
[01:18.97]I was gonna teach
[01:20.42]If I ruled the world
[01:22.50]
[01:25.13]I'd love all the girls
[01:27.30]
[01:27.83]I love 'em love 'em baby
[01:30.52]Black diamonds and pearls
[01:32.87]
[01:35.23]If I ruled the world
[01:41.89]
[01:50.31]People started flowin'
[01:51.34]As they reached for my hand
[01:52.53]I said Thank you for bringin' me
[01:54.06]To the promised land
[01:55.19]But now I must go
[01:56.23]Say goodbye to everybody
[01:57.84]Tonight I'll see you all
[01:58.94]At my super dinner party
[02:00.16]And late that night
[02:01.26]At my super dinner party
[02:02.54]I was dancin' to the beat
[02:03.94]And entertainin' La-Di-Da-Di
[02:04.68]
[02:05.25]The music started endin'
[02:06.30]It was time for a speech
[02:07.57]The crowd started sittin'
[02:08.78]As I rose from my feet
[02:10.01]And this was once a dream
[02:11.30]I explained to the crowd
[02:12.66]Now I rule the world
[02:13.90]And I feel so very proud
[02:15.27]Excuse me please
[02:16.45]For stoppin' this show
[02:17.48]I just had to thank you all
[02:18.92]Huh and me so
[02:20.22]My first day in office
[02:21.57]The King on the throne
[02:22.73]I spent my first three hours
[02:24.07]On the telephone
[02:24.98]You know with newsmen
[02:26.07]Reporter and voter too
[02:27.46]I had so many calls
[02:28.77]I didn't know what to do
[02:30.13]You know out of that office
[02:31.43]I continued to work
[02:32.34]I signed so many papers
[02:33.63]My fingers started to hurt
[02:34.92]Then I shook off the pain
[02:36.41]Say this ain't no thing
[02:37.54]'Cause there's nothin'
[02:38.13]In the world like
[02:39.06]Bein' number one King
[02:40.34]If I ruled the world
[02:42.25]
