Starshine Singers - King Herod Lyrics

There’s one sov’reign, and that’s me.
The rules are made by my decree.
So what’s this rubbish I’ve heard today
That a baby’s been born who will
take my crown away?

None who cross him stay alive.
You change your tune, you might survive.
He’s got a plan to do away
With the silly young brat who they say is born today.

All the first-borns face the chop
If you want this rumour to stop.
The Jewish King must fight him first!
He’s in charge round here, so let the baby do his worst!

There’s one sov’reign, and that’s me.
The rules are made by my decree.
He is Herod, and he is king:
He’s ruler over everything!
