Let's review the story of King Midas Version 1 Version 2

NOTE: * * = CLAP or Two Beats Percussion VERSE 1 Gonna tell you all the story Of a wealthy king of old, * * With an overriding passion For collecting lots of gold. * * And he stored it in his cellar Where you couldn’t shut the door, * * But it never was enough for him, He always wanted more. * * CHORUS Oh, King Midas, ‘Cos greed’s your middle name, You are sure to become selfish, Which will be an awful shame! * * VERSE 2 Well the god named Dionysus Came to Midas late one night, * * “Gonna let you make a wish, my friend Be sure you get it right. ” * * “Tell you what, ” said greedy Midas, “if I might just be so bold, * * Could you make it so that everything I touch will turn to gold? ” * * CHORUS Oh, King Midas, ‘Cos greed’s your middle name, You are sure to become selfish, Which will be an awful shame! * *

VERSE 3 Well, he touched the kitchen table And he touched the kitchen door, * * And he left great golden footprints Right across the kitchen floor. * * Then he raced around the palace Just as happy as can be, * * But he knew he was in trouble When he sat down for his tea! * * CHORUS Oh, King Midas, ‘Cos greed’s your middle name, You are sure to become selfish, Which will be an awful shame! * * VERSE 4 It was then that old King Midas Got himself into a state, * * Because everything he handled Turned to gold upon his plate * * What’s the moral of this story? What’s the lesson in this song? * * If you try to be too greedy Things will always turn out wrong * * CHORUS Oh, King Midas, ‘Cos greed’s your middle name, You are sure to become selfish, Which will be an awful shame! * *

Oh King Mi-das
