It’s King Day it’s King Day
It’s Martin Luther King Day
It’s King Day it’s King Day
For Martin Luther King

They don’t have King Day
In England or Germany
They only got King Day
In the USA

I’m gonna take a day
Off of work on King Day
I’m takin’ Curly
And Topsy to the zoo

We’re gonna see the zebras
With their black and white stripes
And we’ll learn that we all got
Spots and stripes too

After that, we’ll all go
And get us some pizza,
And talk about Doctor King
And this new holiday

Then we’ll go to the park
And find a big old patch of grass
And take turns making speeches
‘bout any old thing at all

It’s King Day it’s King Day
It’s Martin Luther King Day
It’s King Day it’s King Day
For Martin Luther King
