Lyrics I'd been looking for

Finally found them.

Ballad of King Christian X.
(c) Peter Beagle

Arthur, Alfred, and Barbarossa
Rode to war with their singing men.
And good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Rode in the park and rode home again.

Richard, Connor, El Cid Rodrigo
Burned great cities beneath the stars.
And good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Gave out prizes at church bazaars.

Sargon, Offa, and Charlemagne
Waded in history to their lips.
And good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Signed his papers and christened ships.

Chaka, Cyrus, and Chandragupta
Would have fought when the Germans came.
And good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Told his people to swallow the shame.

James, and Carlo, and poor Alphonso
Fled the lands when they lost the throne.
And good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Rode through his city each day, alone.

Hitler, Himmler, Goering, and Goebbels
Decreed yellow stars for the Danish Jews.
And good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Said no word when he heard the news.

Friends and strangers, may heaven spare us
From ever learning what souls we are.
But good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Rode next day with a yellow star.

"For as you do to the least of my people,
However weak or alone they be,"
Said good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
"So you do it unto me."

Arthur, Alfred, and Barbarossa
Made some sorrow and some to sing.
But good King Christian--the old king of Denmark--
Knew what mattered in being king.
