King Henry eighth, my father Hoped I'd have some Tudor brothers Mum had no sons, so rather I got plenty of step-mothers When at last Prince Ed was born The crown I bid adieu They said as King he must be sworn Boys go first in the queue But there's no need to worry If at first you don't succeed When Ed died, I swept aside The rest and was decreed
Mary the First, that's me Tudor lady and Queen of England Not to be confused with Mary, Queen of Scots Not the same, see, though weirdly She's a cousin to me
Some tried to say Lady Jane Grey Should be queen after Ed But England wanted me, hooray So poor Jane lost her head The Protestants were saying That my ruling made them sick Cause when it came to praying My tastes were Catholic They revolted, challenged me Fuelled my great desire To tie three hundred to a stake Light touch paper, then retire
Mary the First, that's me Called the Bloody Queen of England Not what I intended Tried to be good, you see But history only remembers I was a catastrophe
Married Philip, King of Spain Who then left me England thought he was a pain Especially Cause he told me to attack France with troops And when the French advanced We lost Calais, oops
Throughout my reign, it rained and rained It poured upon the poor The harvest failed, no food remained And flu killed more Burned Protestants and wed a fool Led armies to defeat Burned more Prots, I'd say my rule Was short, but not that sweet I had no kids, named half-sis Liz As big Queen Bess to-be So long as she would rule the land As a Catholic Queen like me
Lizzy didn't listen, she Made the country Protestant Meaning my legacy Was ruined, see Everything I tried to achieve Went down the Swanee
