Here's my attempt at a transcription:


LONG LIVE THE KING
Sam Beatty / Tom Graczyk / Abe Tilmon
As sung by The Detroit Emeralds.

Long live the king; he's got his crown now.
Long live the king; his love is found now.
Until you came he was a clown, now.
No, nothing but talking, the king was hardly walking.

I waited for the king to come since the day you left
Now I was just an ordinary guy, ... myself.
Nothing was right.
Everything was wrong.
I stood in a chair.
I stood upon a throne.
I looked at my life.
I didn't want to deal.
But now you're back in my arms,
And I can see what the life of a king really is.

I see it.
I feel it.
I want it.
I like it.

Long live the king; he's got his crown now.
Long live the king; his love is found now.
Until you came he was a clown, now.
Just walking around, his head was hanging down, down, down, down.

I see it, baby.
I feel it, mm.
I want it.
I like it.

Long live the king; he's got his crown now.
Long live the king; his love is found now.
Until you came he was a clown, now.
Just walking around, his head was hanging down, down, down, down.

Long live the king; he's on his feet now.
Long live the king; his life is sweet, now.
Long live the king; his might is strong now.
You picked him up and he's back where he belongs, now.

Long live the king; he's got his crown now.
Long live the king; his love is found now.
Until you came he was a clown, now.
