BABY KING
(Written by Marc Cohn)

Baby King, Baby King
You got to get ready for the Baby King
You might dance and you might sing
But you never seen nothin' like the Baby King

It was a bright and sunny morning (Get ready for a Baby King)
It wasn't too long before he was born now (Get ready for a Baby King)
You could hardly tell by the look on his face (Get ready for a Baby King)
That pretty soon he was gonna run this place (Get ready for a Baby King)

Now he is strong and he is wise (Get ready for a Baby King)
He can see right through your old disguise (Get ready for a Baby King)
Now you might think that you got it down (Get ready for a Baby King)
Wait till Baby King comes to town (Get ready for a Baby King)

Baby King, Baby King
You got to get ready for the Baby King
You might dance and you might sing
But you never seen nothin' like the Baby King

Oooh, get ready.....

The virgin Mary brought him here (Get ready for a Baby King)
And the angels whispered in his tiny little ear (Get ready for a Baby King)
They sent him down from up above (Get ready for a Baby King)
Just to show you all how to really love (Get ready for a Baby King)

Baby King, Baby King
You got to get ready for the Baby King
You might dance and you might sing
But you never seen nothin' like the Baby King
