When Britain really ruled the waves, in good Queen Bess's time,
The House of Peers made no pretense, to intellectual eminence
Or scholarship sublime
Yet Britain won her proudest days
In good Queen Bess's glorious days.

When Wellington smashed Bonaparte, as any child can tell,
The House of Peers throughout the war, did nothing in particular
And did it very well.
Yet Britain set the world ablaze
In good King George's glorious days

And while the House of Peers withholds its legislative hand,
And noble statemen do not itch to interfere in matters which
They do not understand.
As bright will shine Great Britain's rays
as in King George's glorious days!


(done from memory)

God Save the Queen!
