Chorus:
King Midas, he's so famous for his unique talent of turning things to gold
But really, really, actually, oh really
Really, really, actually, oh really
His favorite thing to do was to turn things into cheese
You may have heard of the time when his friend, another king…
Yes everyone-knows that kings only hang out with other kings!
Anyway, his friend said,
“I brought you some silver, can you make it better?”
Midas he blinked and he turned it into cheddar
Chorus
You may have heard of the town, the next town, another town…
Yes, everyone knows that this town was known for its pretty sounds!
Every violinist said, “turn to gold my fiddle, for the town sonata”
Midas he blinked and he turned it into ricotta
Chorus
Why, why, why…why cheese?!
Well, have you ever, have you ever, have you ever tasted gold?
You may have heard of the house on the hill that’s very old…
Yes everyone knows the entire house is made of gold!
Anyway the sun shone, it glistened everywhere, the windows, floors, and stairs,
Midas he blinked and he turned it into camembert
Chorus
