Support your local emperor

Pay him tribute every time

Let it be known he holds your fate

From his fingertips shall flow the wine Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet

Wherever he walks rose beds be laid

So that he may always feel secure

In the vast empire that he made But could you tell me

What he's ever done for you? I'm not the one that needed an army

I'm not the one that needed respect

I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember

I'm not the one that they'll likely forget It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk

And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk

You can see that in the end, it's just a little bit of talk

But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk

To meow for him, to meow for him Remember once when you were young

It really was not all that long ago

You reached out your hand and it was met

You let your heart will tell you so So bow your head, don't meet his eyes

Royalty speaks, you then reply

Someday he may find his throne is cold

Someday he may chance to wonder why But could you tell me

What he's ever done for you? I'm not the one that needed an army

I'm not the one that needed respect

I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember

I'm not the one that they'll likely forget It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk

And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk

You can see in the end, it's just a little bit of talk

But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk

To meow for him, to meow for him Support your local emperor

Pay him tribute every time

Let it be known he holds your fate

From his fingertips shall flow all the wine Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet

Wherever he walks rose beds be laid

Someday he may find his throne is cold

In the vast empire that he's made
