'worn out some go round the king's head with me' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'worn out some go round the king's head with me' is the wordplay.
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'some go round' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'going round' mean this).
'head' says to take the initial letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
The initial letter of 'kings' is 'k'.
'k' after 'me' is 'mek'.
'mek' with letters rearranged gives 'kme'.
'worn' going around 'kme' is 'WORKMEN'.
