The Emperor Crumb arrived
All so flakey
With his several wives
And a shot in the dark
Brought the jam to his eyes
He was up to his ears in honey
But money reigned from the skies
The emperor, the emperor he has come
Roll out the red carpets
And beat on the drum
No more starvation
No more long sighs
For he has brought bread and milk
and nobody dies
Crumb, crumb, the Emperor crumb
Has come on the backs of the monks and the nuns
He's chewed his banana and sucked on his thumb
Oh how shall I tell you of the Emperor Crumb?
The mud fills his boots, and the day looks like done
But who's that in the distance like a big currant bun
Rolling as a steamboat and red as a tongue
Flown like a seagull across vast oceans come
All hail the arrival of the Great Emperor Crumb
