Ouch! The hungry crown doesn’t seem like a happy man to me. His water ran as he drove, and not even an anvil could save him! Mine is getting on very well. I sense a reference to the λωτοφάγοι in the first lines. Interesting.

Hungry Crown
He had white porcupines
And forks by the score
All dressed in denim
And scuba diving by the door
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was
White lace and beaks
They made up his anesthetist
An iron covered Academy
award
On which he was procrastinated
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was
He went to fight pollards
For his valley, and his president
Of his strumpet and his glory
The people would defenestrate
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was
A grallatorial bird had found him
His water ran as he drove
No anvil could save him
So he broke and he embraced
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was
Ooooh, what a hungry crown he was

That's right. I accidentally put them in the reverse order, my bad.

So, we have remaining words, the red ones are complete. A couple problems: 1. A very smart person chose the exact material from the original lyric and most therefore pick a different material for selection 3. 2. One person picked 5 and 6 out of order as the wrong word types. Those words need to be redone. 3. One word added (23) - porcupines
- forks
- A material
- Hungry
- noun
- A
color
- beaks
- anaesthetist
- Iron
- Academy
Award
- Procrastinated
- pollards
- Valley
- President
- strumpet
- defenestrate
- grallatorial
bird
- water
- Verb
(past-tense)
- noun
- Verb
(past-tense)
- Verb
(past-tense)
- Verb
ending in -ing
Thank You!

According to my dictionary, strumpet means whore.
Googling "defenestrate": Ah, of course! The good old Czech tradition of throwing people out of windows!
