Let's review the story of King Midas

Version 1 Version 2

Gonna tell you all the storyOf a wealthy king of old, * *With an overriding passionFor 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. * *

Well the god named DionysusCame to Midas late one night, * *“Gonna let you make a wish, my friendBe 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?” * *

Oh, King Midas,‘Cos greed’s your middle name,You are sure to become selfish,Which will be an awful shame! * *

VERSE 1

VERSE 2

NOTE: * * = CLAP CLAP or Two Beats Percussion

Oh, King Midas,‘Cos greed’s your middle name,You are sure to become selfish,Which will be an awful shame! * *

Well, he touched the kitchen tableAnd he touched the kitchen door, * * And he left great golden footprintsRight across the kitchen floor. * * Then he raced around the palaceJust as happy as can be, * * But he knew he was in troubleWhen he sat down for his tea! * *

It was then that old King MidasGot himself into a state, * * Because everything he handledTurned 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 greedyThings will always turn out wrong * *
