The King Of Tonga

(album: Blue Guitars - 1996)

She was bronzing in the sun drinking a cool rum punch
When a guy named D' Gatoni said, "Wow!
Can I take your picture? You could be a model, girl
There's a guy I know who'll show you how"

Now her mama waves good-bye and on the plane, she flies
Off to meet the king, King of Tonga, King of Tonga

Now the girl gets to the palace dressed in black silk lace
She says, "Where's my king of fashion and fame?"
And the king swings down and he fall on his face
Says, "I'm so really glad you came"
Now the girl tries to resist, running from his kiss
Now she's calling the cops on, the King of Tonga
King of Tonga

Daddy still doesn't one more night
Tells his son, "Son, you squeeze her tight"
His daddy taught him everything he knows
So, the king steals daddy's clothes

Now the police knew the king
They knew him very well
They say, "King, king what's the matter now?"
King says, "Boys, you've got to talk to my bride-to-be
'Cause this crazy girl won't take my vow"
They say, "King, give her romance"
And the king takes a chance
And now, soon there'll be a new Queen
For the King of Tonga, King of Tonga
King of Tonga
