Kings And Queens (ruthless Rulers) Lyrics - Singles - Horrible Histories

I'm William the Conqueror 

My enemies stood no chance 

They call me the first English king 

Although I come from France 

1066, the Doomsday book 

I gave to history 

So fat on death my body burst 

But enough about me 

To help remember all your kings 

I've come up with this song 

A simple rhyming ditty 

For you all to sing along 

Oh, William 

(Bit short init? We need more kings. Who came next?) 

William second, cheeks were red 

Killed out hunting, so it's said 

I took over, Henry one 

That's my next eldest son 

Then King Stephen, it's true check it! 

Hi, Henry two, killed Thomas Beckett 

Richard Lionheart? That's right! 

Always spoiling for a fight 

Oh King John, what a disaster 

Rule restrained by Magna Carta 

William, William, Henry, Stephen 

Henry, Richard, John, oi! 

Time for my mate, King Henry eight 

To take up this song 

Henry three built the abbey 

Ed one hated Scots 

A red hot poker killed Ed two 

That must have hurt him lots 

Edward third was a chivalry nerd 

Began the hundred years war 

Then Richard two was king aged ten 

Then Henry, yes one more 

King Henry four, plots galore 

Not least from Henry five, why? 

Killed ten score at Agincourt 

Then Henry six arrived 

Edward four, Edward five 

Richard the third, he's bad 

'Cause he fought wars with Henry seventh 

First Tudor and my dad 

So Henry eight, I was great 

Six wives, two were beheaded 

Edward the sixth came next, but he died young 

And so my dreaded 

Daughter Mary ruled, so scary 

Then along came... me 

I'm Liz the first, I had no kids 

So Tudors RIP 

William, William, Henry, Stephen 

Henry, Richard, John, oi! 

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two 

Then three more Henrys join our song 

Edward, Edward, Rich the third 

Henry, Henry, Ed again 

Mary one, good Queen Bess 

That's me, time for more men 

James six of Scotland next 

Is English James the first he led 

Then Stuarts ruled, so Charles the first 

The one who lost his head 

No monarchy until came me 

Charles two, I liked to party 

King Jimmy two was scary, woooh 

Then Mary was a smarty 

She ruled with Bill, their shoes were filled 

By sourpuss Queen Anne Gloria 

And so from then, you were ruled by men 

Till along came me Victoria 

William, William, Henry, Stephen 

Henry, Richard, John, oi! 

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two 

Then three more Henrys join our song 

Edward, Edward, Rich the third 

Henry, Henry, Ed again 

Mary one, good Queen Bess 

Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then 

Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria 

Still to come, it's Queen Victoria 

And so began the Hanover gang 

George one and George two (grim) 

Then George the third was quite absurd 

Till I replaced old him 

King George the fourth and known henceforth 

As angry, fat and cross (hang on) 

It's true you beat Napoleon 

But were mostly a dead loss (bang on) 

Old William four was a sailor (ahoy) 

It's nearly the end of the story-a 

As onto the scene comes the best loved queen 

Hail to Queen Victoria 

William, William, Henry, Stephen 

Henry, Richard, John, oi! 

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two 

Then three more Henrys join our song 

Edward, Edward, Rich the third 

Henry, Henry, Ed again 

Mary one, good Queen Bess 

Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then 

Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria 

George, George, George, George 

Will, Victoria 

Victoria Victoria Victoria 

(I ruled for sixty four years, you know.) 

Ed seven, George five 

Then Ed, George sixth 

Liz two then reigned and how 

And so our famous monarch song 

Is brought right up to now, oh 

William, William, Henry, Stephen 

Henry, Richard, John, oi! 

Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Rich two 

Then three more Henrys join our song 

Edward, Edward, Rich the third 

Henry, Henry, Ed again 

Mary one, good Queen Bess 

Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then 

Jim, Will, Mary, Anna Gloria 

George, George, George, George 

Will, Victoria 

Edward, George, Edward, George six 

And Queen Liz two completes the mix 

That's all the English kings and queens 

Since William first that there have been
