CHORUS
I want to be the King of Kings
I want to be God

SOLO BOY
I am a great big pig

SOLO BOY

I am the King of France

SOLO BOY
His wife likes to dance

SOLO BOY
I am the Church of Rome
I stand behind the throne

SOLO BOY
I am the public purse; they think I'm bottomless

SOLO BOY
I am the public accounts; I admit I'm a bit of a mess

Solo girl
I am the American war and they say I'm rather greedy

SOLO GIRL
I am the national debt; I’m big but needy

SOLO BOY
I am a noble

SOLO BOY
I am the clergy

SOLO BOY
I am the ordinary man

SOLO GIRL
I am hungry

SOLO GIRL
I am starving!

The cake needs re-carving!

I'm a ravening wolf
MALE CHORUS
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a ravening wolf

FEMALE CHORUS
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a heart of thorns

MALE CHORUS
It's the end of the shield of divine law

TROUBLEMAKER
I'm the oak tree

CHILDREN'S CHORUS
I am the oak tree and I am the columbine
I am the pig searching for truffles

CHORUS
And I am the peac*ck whose feathers are ruffled
