Oh really? For anyone else unfamiliar with Vic Gammon's fab song: 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 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 Believe me it's no lie Well, there hasn't been an English King of England Since Harold got one in the eye Chorus 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
