Subject: RE: Songs for King Charles's Coronation
THE KINGS AND QUEENS OF ENGLAND, by Vic Gammon
Charles the Second had eleven bastard children and George the Third went mad Edward the Seventh they think was Jack the Ripper and Richard the Third weren't as bad (as Shakespeare said he was) Victoria lay back and thought of England Charles the First lost his head The best thing about the kings and queens of England is that Most of them are dead
Singing Rule Britannia, Britannia waives the rules, Kings, Queens, Knaves and Jacks and tyrants, cheats and fools
William the Third was a Protestant and Dutch man and James the First was a Scot George the First spoke nothing else but German What a mixed up, interbred lot! William the First was grasping Norman bastard And not one word is a lie There hasn't been an English king of England Since Harold got one in the eye
She was a well-heeled, blue blood Cinderella Him Prince Charming with big ears But he had a thing going with the ugly sister. So it ended all in tears Arise now you ghosts of old Oliver Cromwell Brave Harrison and Tom Paine Rid our land of this monstrous carbuncle Bring sunshine after the reign
Performed by Pete Coe, with his version of the lyrics in the amusing video:
