Gran doesn't rhyme with some, Jos.

Just change Prince Charles for Harry in verse 2.
Thanks again Richard.

I once was a lady who knew her own mind.
I stood up for women and all of mankind.
But along came Prince Harry to make me his bride
So I knelt down before him and swallowed my pride,
    With a toorali oorali oorali ay.

I won't need to wait for a passport like some,
Prince Charles just whispered a word to his mum
Who spoke to Theresa and they all did their bit,
They Windrushed me a passport so now I'm a Brit.
    With a ....

My wedding will cost just a few hundred grand
For horses, policemen and soldiers so grand.
And some of the public will get an invite,
But bring your own picnic for money is tight.
      With a ....

No tax on our bedrooms, you've paid for our rent,
No mortgage or gas bills, not even a cent.
And soon there'll be babies, one, two maybe three.
I won't have to worry for EVERYTHING'S FREE!
                                       
      With a ....

I'll never be Queen, there're too many up front.
Camellia and Catherine both in the hunt.
So maybe I'll move to a wee Scottish glen
For Scotland will be a Republic by then."
      With a ....

I can delight in being a pedant sometimes, but I don't count as pendantry pointing out that Prince Harry's mother is long (sadly) deceased.

Not bad, except for "Prince Harry just whispered a word to his mum".

Tricky: she's been dead for some while. His grandmother however ...

To be honest, BGM, I'm not really aware of much Royal fervour here in North London, Highgate borders. It's mainly the press and TV who are pushing the wedding, I see nothing in the streets but I wouldn't rule out Windsor!

Thank you Jim....another great piece of social commmentary to add to your brilliant body of work!
Thank goodness for a counter to all the sycophantic sh*te and union jackism sweeping these islands; less up here than where you are, must be difficult ignoring it all down South!
