HER MAJESTY
(Lennon-McCartney, with additional lyrics written and performed by Chumbawamba)
(Released as a giveaway single by Chumbawamba to coincide with the Queen's Golden Jubilee, 2002.)

[1] [Same as above.]

[2] Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
But she never does a thing for me.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
But she keeps the worst company—
All the lords and the ladies in waiting
All crawling in the dirt like swine.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
But I hope she's the end of the line, oh yeah.
I hope she's the end of the line.

[Bridge] Her Majesty's living in a land of curtsies—
A world of bluish blood and Nazis, yeah.

[3] Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
But I think she ought to call it a day.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Without one good reason to stay.
I'd like to take her for a whiskey or two,
But I've got a lot of things to do.
Her Majesty's a throwaway song,
Just short of a chorus or two, oh yeah,
Short of a chorus or two.

[Bridge] A world of corgis and inbreeding—
The royal corpse is barely breathing.

[4] Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
With a circus for a family.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
But she's stuck with the royal "we."
I'd like to show her around the center of town,
But I haven't got a carpet for her feet.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl,
But she's pretty much obsolete, oh yeah,
She's pretty much obsolete.
