Charles II - Horrible Histories
[Intro] My name is, my name is My name is, Charles ii ! [Verse 1] I love the people And the people love me So much that they restored The English monarchy! [Verse 2] I'm part Scottish, French, Italian A little bit Dane But one hundred percent party animal Champagne? [Verse 3] Spaniels I adored Named after me too Like me, they were fun With a nutty hair do! [Verse 4] Is today my birthday? I can't recall Let's have a party anyway Because I love a masked ball! [Chorus] All hail, the king! Of bling! Let's sing! Bells ring! Ding ding! I'm the king who brought back partying! [Verse 5] King Charles, my daddy Lost his throne And kings were banned They chopped off his head Then Olly Cromwell ruled the land [Verse 6] Old Olly wasn't jolly He was glum, and he was proud Would be miserable as sin Only sinning's not allowed! [Verse 7] When Olly died, the people said 'Charlie, me hearty! Get rid of his dull laws Come back, we'd rather party! [Verse 8] This action's what they called The monarchy restoration Which naturally was followed By a huge celebration! [Chorus] The King of Eng! (Land say!) No sin! Too sing! (Okay!) Or anything! All say, I'm the king who brought back partying! [Verse 9] Great London Fire was a whopper! In my reign, London city came a-cropper! So this king did what was right and proper Fought the fire, proved I'm more than a bopper I'm a fire stopper! [Verse 10] Married Catherine Braganza She was a love so true There would never be another Well... Maybe one or two! [Verse 11] Lucy Walter Nell Gwynne Moll Davies Barbara Villiers You think that's bad But her name's not as silly as Hortense Mancini! [Verse 12] As king, I must admit I broke the wedding rules But who cares when I brought back The crown jewels? I reinstated Christmas Make up, sports and even plays I was the merry monarch They were good old days! [Chorus] When said and done! King Charles did run! England for fun! I was the king loved by everyone My song is done! [Outro] Party anyone ?
