Don Firth alluded to;

"Now the Minstrels sing of an English King of many long years ago
Who ruled the land with an iron hand though his followers were weak and low.
His only outer garment was a dirty yellow shirt
With which he tried to hide his hide, but he couldn't hide the dirt.

Ch. He was dirty lousy full of fleas but he had his women by twos and threes
God bless the bastard King of England.

Now this one rings a bell! Want the rest?
