This song was originally by Jimmy Cliff and then covered by dozens of others. For some reason it’s 2009 and nobody’s even posted the lyrics for this song so here goes. Lion says "I am king and I reign" Lion says "I am king in this reign" No more kings must be in this backyard Lion says "I am king and I reign." Elephant says "I am king ’cause I’m strong" Giraffe says "I am king ’cause my neck is long" There’s no doubt that they are all wrong Still lion says "I am king ’cause I’m double-strong." (BRIDGE) I’m king of kings and lord of lords in this land No more back talk any of you ’cause I’m king From the be-ginn-ing I was made king. Lion says "I am king and I reign."
