Ballad of the burger King

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In a greasy old diner, late one night,
A burger was born in the fryer’s light.
With sesame seeds and a royal crown,
He stood up tall and he stomped around.

(Pre-Chorus)
"Bow before me, I am your king!
The tastiest ruler you've ever seen!"
With lettuce for robes and a ketchup cape,
He built a kingdom, all food-shaped.

(Chorus)
All hail the Burger King!
Juicy, proud, and glistening!
From fries to shakes, his subjects cheered,
But his reign would end in ways quite weird...

(Verse 2)
His knights were nuggets, brave and bold,
His queen, a shake, though a little cold.
His castle stood on a bun so wide,
With pickles guarding every side.

(Pre-Chorus)
"Let us feast, but not on me!
For I am your king, let’s eat with glee!"
But hunger grew in the food-filled land,
And the subjects hatched a devious plan…

(Chorus)
All hail the Burger King!
Juicy, proud, and glistening!
But when the fries all lost their salt,
They knew just who to catapult...

(Bridge)
One dark night, the fryer blazed,
The air was thick with smoky haze.
The people cheered, the ketchup splashed,
As their king was grilled and gnashed.

(Verse 3)
Now the throne sits empty there,
A kingdom ruled by hunger’s glare.
But when you take a midnight bite,
You just might hear his ghost recite:

(Final Chorus)
All hail the Burger King!
Juicy, proud, and glistening!
He fed his people, that’s the twist—
But now he’s just a value list...

(Outro, spoken)
"Would you like fries with that?"
