Title..."Kings and Queens of England"

V1

Now Charles the Second had eleven bastard children
George the Third went mad
And Edward the Seventh, they thought was Jack the Ripper
But, Richard the Third weren't as bad as people thought he was
Victoria, laid back and thought of England
Charles the First lost his head
Well the best thing about those Kings and Queens of England, is that most of them are dead....

Chorus

Singing, Rule Britannia, Britannia waives the rules
Kings, Queens, Jacks and Knaves and Tyrants
Cheats and Fools

V2

Now, William the Third was a Protestant and Dutchman
James the First was a Scot
And, George the First spoke nothing else but German
What a mixed up, interbred lot !
And, William the First, was a grasping Norman bastard
Beleive me, It's no lie
Well, there hasn't been an English King of England
Since, Harold got one in the eye

Chorus

V3

Now, 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
So, arise now you ghosts of old Oliver Cromwell
Brave Harrison and Tom Paine
Would you rid our land of this monstrous carbuncle
And bring sunshine after the reign....!!!

Chorus

A magnificent song....sorry can't do the tune on here..no talent for that, but the chorus is to Rule Britannia
Enjoy!!
