The Lyrics
This may have passed to my brother and me by oral tradition, but Gary sang the clearest, and most complete, version I ever heard.
We three kings of Orient are
Tried to smoke a rubber cigar
It was loaded and exploded
That was the end of one king...
We two kings of Orient are
Tried to smoke a rubber cigar
It was loaded and exploded
That was the end of two kings
I, one king of Orient are
Tried to smoke a rubber cigar
It was loaded and exploded
That was the end of all three kings...
Tried to smoke a rubber cigar
It was loaded and exploded
That was the end of one king...
We two kings of Orient are
Tried to smoke a rubber cigar
It was loaded and exploded
That was the end of two kings
I, one king of Orient are
Tried to smoke a rubber cigar
It was loaded and exploded
That was the end of all three kings...
