Old King Cold



I am the monarch of the town,
     The king of land and sea;
Before me mankind boweth down,
     The people worship me.
I’m Old King Cole, and Great I am,
     I’m It in great degree;
From North and South and East and West
     The people flock to me.
For all I’m cold, and freeze their smiles,
     Still do they follow me;
I’m here today, tomorrow nay,
     My name is i-c-e.
