Verse 1:
Grown-ups are too big to see the ground
Grown-ups are too big to see the ground
They watch the costumes masks and arms
The throws into the crowd
From giant floats like little clouds
They catch stuff in the air
But if it hits the ground
They leave it there
They leave it there

Verse 2:
Grown-ups hide even the highest floats
Grown-ups hide even the highest floats
Backs and backs of heads and hands
Like tiny treetops block the view
So all I see are tractor wheels
And lots of legs and
Big big shoes
Big big shoes

Bridge:
And they don’t notice me
Because I’m littler than them
I’m a bratty kid
Without a leash
I just wander free
Among these Amazonians
No grown-up’s gonna rain on
My parade
My parade

Verse 3:
Grown-ups don't know what they're missing
Grown-ups don't know what they're missing
Dodging knees I stoop and scoop up
Tons of treasures in a blink
They think they're smart
But down here
I'm the King
I’m the King

[Repeat Bridge]

Verse 4:
Grown-ups are too big to see the ground
Grown-ups are too big to see the ground
Dodging knees I stoop and scoop up
Tons of treasures in a blink
They think they're smart
But down here
I'm the King
I’m the King

Coda:
They think they're smart
But down here
I'm the King
I’m the King
