dennis nowicki - the english monarchs song lyrics

Loading...

[cenapsis]
from france, william the conqueror came and won england at hastings
william ii, a wicked king, died from a n0ble’s bowstring
henry i seized the throne, lion of justice was he
stephen, weak, a civil war ensued called ‘the anarchy’

henry ii, a strong king, but put an end to becket
richard the lionheart, impoverished england, not protect it
john signed the magna carta but was a terrible king
henry iii was forced to set up parliament and its building
[chorus]
hi ho, the merry old england’s royal monarchy
days of ladies, lords and knights
and of stark hierarchy

edward longshanks, hammer of the scots’ the slot he filled
edward ii, incompetent so deposed and then k!lled
good king edward iii began the hundred years’ war
tyrant king richard ii, jailed, then fed no more

henry iv faced more rebellions than ever before
henry v distinguished himself at the battle of agincourt
henry vi’s insanity put his wife margaret in charge
edward iv’s part in the war of the roses was large

[chorus]
hi ho, the merry old england’s royal monarchy
days of ladies, lords and knights
and of stark hierarchy

edward v, ruled for only two months and then made dead
ruthless richard iii at bosworth was finished, they said
henry vii’s wife’s face was queen in every card deck
henry viii had six wives, two involved up to their necks

sickly edward vi ruled only four years, then he passed
lady jane grey, only nine days ‘fore the tower, she was cast
mary i forced catholicism without pity
virgin queen elizabeth i brought stability
[chorus]
hi ho, the merry old england’s royal monarchy
days of ladies, lords and knights
and of stark hierarchy

james i faced the gunpowder plot and waved to the mayflower
charles i’s english civil war began from his l+st for power
oliver cromwell won the war and became lord protector
richard cromwell could not lead, then became a french ‘defector’

merry monarch, charles ii, weakness is what he’d shown
james ii, for religious intolerance is how he’s known
william and mary’s ‘glorious revolution”s what they sought

these were the english royalty that ruled by how they thought
