Having Fun With Henry
O' what is a peasants role?
to pay the government toll
wake in the morning to harvest
the wheat, to grovel and scrape
at royalties feet...that is a peasants role
O' what is a king to do?
I stepped in rather large poo
you there, peasant remove your cloak
to clean away this stinky goo
it has soiled the royal shoe
now I don't mean to boast
but as king you must toast
for every peasant does see
the greatness that is me King Henry
the first he was first he was a bounder
the second was a bit wild
the third made subjects snore
for the fourth had plots galore
the fifth fought the French at Agencore
the sixth he was a child
Henry the vii he was bore
O' peasants bow down to me
I'm Henry number eight...ain't I great
to pay the government toll
wake in the morning to harvest
the wheat, to grovel and scrape
at royalties feet...that is a peasants role
