There are many things I like to wish for.
Things that can't be bought and can't be sold.
A rainbow butterfly, a candy mountain high.
But most of all, I'd like a crown of gold.
A crown of gold, gold, gold upon my head, head, head with emeralds green, green, green and rubies red, red, red.
A crown of gold, gold, gold! Look at it shine, shine, shine!
I wish that crown, crown, crown could be all mine.
Cowboys wear big hats that hold ten gallons, and Little Reds wear riding hoods for cold.
But I'd take my beret and throw it far away if I could have a shiny crown of gold.
Did you know a crown of gold is heavy?
Did you know a crown can make you sweat?
To keep it shining bright takes morning, noon, and night.
A crown of gold is more work than a pet!
A crown of gold, gold, gold just isn't fun, fun, fun.
You cannot play, play, play.
You cannot run, run, run.
People stare, stare, stare all over town, town, town.
This crown of gold, gold, gold, it weighs me down, down, down.
A crown of gold, gold, gold! Look at it shine, shine, shine!
I wish that crown, crown, crown could be all mine.
