We Were a King Once
We were a king once
Can we be king twice?
We were bathing in milk
Played for diamonds and silk
Once
But we want it twice
My show was a magnet for the crowd
No one could resist Volpe's crown
Now the little ones
Now the married ones
Prefer Garbo, Gardel, Valentino, la voce di Caruso, jazz on the radio
You were the kings once
Mon Dieu, was it nice
You were knights of the night
Full of glory and might
Once
So let's get it twice
We need an ace, a prince, a hero
With no fear, no tears, no shame
Who can take us around il mondo
Back to success and fame
Believe in you, believe in me, believe in you
We were a king once
We can be king twice
We lit big fat dunhills
With hundred Dollar bills
Once
Can we do it twice?
From Monte Carlo to Paris
In my silver blue Bugatti
We need an actor
You need not a bore
Listen to me, mes amis, I am the Paganini
Believe it, believe in me
Believe in you (we were the kings once)
Believe in me
Believe in me
Can we be king twice?
We were bathing in milk
Played for diamonds and silk
Once
But we want it twice
My show was a magnet for the crowd
No one could resist Volpe's crown
Now the little ones
Now the married ones
Prefer Garbo, Gardel, Valentino, la voce di Caruso, jazz on the radio
You were the kings once
Mon Dieu, was it nice
You were knights of the night
Full of glory and might
Once
So let's get it twice
We need an ace, a prince, a hero
With no fear, no tears, no shame
Who can take us around il mondo
Back to success and fame
Believe in you, believe in me, believe in you
We were a king once
We can be king twice
We lit big fat dunhills
With hundred Dollar bills
Once
Can we do it twice?
From Monte Carlo to Paris
In my silver blue Bugatti
We need an actor
You need not a bore
Listen to me, mes amis, I am the Paganini
Believe it, believe in me
Believe in you (we were the kings once)
Believe in me
Believe in me
