Fitzroy Fitzroy

And here's the second - reverting to my familiar Tudor theme and reusing a Bowie classic.

Rebel Rebel Fitzroy Fitzroy not by David Bowie
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo 

Born the son of King Henry eight
Was thrilled with you he thought you were so great
A son, that’s just the thing
A son, to please this king
Needs a prince, for the fam’ly line
Just a daughter after all this time
Then you come and he claims to know
Exactly where the blame should go
It must be down to Aragon
You just watch, soon she’ll be gone

Fitzroy Fitzroy, the king’s bastard
Fitzroy Fitzroy, you’re his flesh and blood
Fitzroy Fitzroy, a shining star
Duke of Richmond you are!
 

Oh yeah!
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
 

Born the son of King Henry eight
Was thrilled with you he thought you were so great
A son, that’s just the thing
A son, to please this king

Then you come and he claims to know
Exactly where the blame should go
It must be down to Aragon
You just watch, soon she’ll be gone
 

Fitzroy Fitzroy, the king’s bastard
Fitzroy Fitzroy, you’re his child preferred/flesh and blood
Fitzroy Fitzroy, a shining star
Duke of Richmond you are!

Oh yeah!
Oh!
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo
 

Fitzroy Fitzroy, the king’s bastard
Fitzroy Fitzroy, you’re his flesh and blood
Fitzroy Fitzroy, a shining star
Duke of Richmond you are!

The king’s bastard, his flesh and blood
The one he accepts, the one he thinks is good
Because you proved that he could father sons
He’ll give you titles and money and land
Who knows what other things the king has planned
You’re the king’s bastard
And you’re his child preferred
Because you’re his flesh and blood
But it won’t be long
Until your swan song
 

‘Cause soon you’ve got to go
A short lived child, uh-huh, uh-huh
Soon you’ve gotta go
When you are just nineteen, you’ll have to leave the scene
You’re the king’s bastard
And you’re his flesh and blood
Ooh, you’re his flesh and blood
Ooh, ooh, but you’ve got to go
Eh, eh, you’ve got to go
Eh, eh

Virgin Queen - !!!NEW!!!

And another:

Dancing Queen Virgin Queen not by ABBA 

Ooh
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
 

Although I was born a princess
I soon found myself in distress
Mother was executed
Forsook to the world
Just because I was a girl
After dad and Edward died
Had to show was on Mary’s side
Nearly got executed
But escaped that fate
Then I waited to succeed
And then eventually

I am the Virgin Queen
Pure and clean
No in-between
Virgin Queen
To hist’ry

That is how I’m seen, oh yeah
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
 

I’ve fought so hard, to get the throne
Determined I will rule alone
Though I’ll look for a husband
I will stay unwed
‘Cause I have learnt my lesson
And now my time’s begun

I am the Virgin Queen             
Pure and clean
No in-between
Virgin Queen
To hist’ry
That is how I’m seen, oh yeah
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
I am the Virgin Queen

I Will Be Queen - !!!NEW!!!

Running a bit behind with this month's but still had to stick to that Tudor theme

All by Myself I Will Be Queen not by Jamie O'Neal

Born a princess
I thought I was meant for greatness
But soon found I was in distress
Felt such unrest

Motherless girl
Father in love with a vile churl
And he forgot his precious pearl
I’m no-one’s girl

Lost my mother
And dad’s in love with another
But my fate she cannot smother
With no brother

I will be queen
Just wait and see, I will be queen on the throne
I will be queen
Just wait you’ll see, I will be queen on the throne

Devout and pure         
Heresy I cannot endure
So England must share my fervour
I will make sure

I Just Can't Wait To Be Queen - !!!NEW!!!

Oops - running a bit behind with the blog posts - time to catch up. First with a new Tudor themed parody song. 

I Just Can't Wait To Be King Queen not from The Lion King

I was the child of a great king,
So that means I’m his heir!

That is unless he has a boy
Which means you won’t win there

But until then I am his pearl
The apple of his eye
The most precious thing in his life
It’s easy to see why

Might want to keep an eye on Anne Boleyn

Oh, just you wait I will be queen!

 

No way would dad do this

Well, now, you say that

Why is it that whore’s here?

But the thing is

He can’t end his marriage

What you don't realize

You would think that is clear

But she’s here!

Ev’ry one should do (as) I say

That might be what you think

One day I will have my way!

 

But times have changed and now you are
Downgraded to lady

The thought that my dad
Would turn his back is too crazy
 

You underestimated that Anne Boleyn
Now she’s won
She is queen, she’s your dad’s new wife
It seems your day is done
You are lucky to still be on the scene             

Oh, just you wait I will be queen!


Watched my daddy move on
Because that Anne was not right
And now that Jane is queen
It will all be alright

(It’s) a boy!

She’s had the son on which your dad was keen (but)
            That doesn’t mean you’ll be poor like you’ve been
            There’s still a chance a royal place you’ll glean

Oh, just you wait I will be queen!
Oh, just you wait I will be queen!
Oh, just you wait I
Just wait I
Will be queen!

Marriage No. 6 - !!!NEW!!!

I took a trip to Hampton Court Palace at the weekend. So naturally this month's posts will have a historical theme. Starting with...

Mambo No. 5 Marriage No. 6 not by Lou Bega 

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Marriage Number Six

One, two, three, four, five, six
Everybody at court knows how I get my kicks   
‘Cause I need a male child to succeed me
My wives have given me some daughters
But that really don't please me
Not hard but I’ve just got one
I’m not yet done - I still carry on

I like Bessie, and Mary, and all the ladies
‘Cause my only mission is to have a male baby
So what will it take? I beg and pray to the Lord
But it seems my prayers are ignored
Still gotta try, it’s all for my fam’ly line
I’ll get it right this time 

A little bit of Katherine a true queen
A little bit of Anne she was so keen
A little bit of Jane now with my son
A little bit of Anne she’s not the one
A little bit of Catherine such a jewel
A little bit of Katheryn she’s no fool
Although my road of love it’s been quite steep
I know now that this one she’ll be for keeps

Marriage Number Six 

Once you’ve been found to be queen you’re bound
Have a son, make me proud
Or your head’ll hit the ground
I don’t want fuss, I don’t want girls
If you win my heart I’ll change your world
To reach my goal I’ll do what it takes
Believe me when I say I don’t like mistakes

A little bit of Katherine a true queen
A little bit of Anne she was so keen
A little bit of Jane now with my son
A little bit of Anne she’s not the one
A little bit of Catherine such a jewel
A little bit of Katheryn she’s no fool
Although my road of love it’s been quite steep
I know now that this one she’ll be for keeps
 

This time, yeah this time
Marriage Number Six

A little bit of Katherine a true queen
A little bit of Anne she was so keen
A little bit of Jane now with my son
A little bit of Anne she’s not the one
A little bit of Catherine such a jewel
A little bit of Katheryn she’s no fool
Although my road of love it’s been quite steep
I know now that this one she’ll be for keeps

Know you want to fall in love with a king so cool
'Cause you can't run and you can't hide
You are now gonna be my bride
 

Marriage Number Six

Bessie - !!!NEW!!!

 Two historical parody songs in one month! I'm spoiling you!

Ruby Bessie not by Kaiser Chiefs

Sadly it must be said my marriage is dead
'Cause there's no little boy in the royal cot bed
If there’s one thing I need, it’s a son to succeed
But my dear queen it seems cannot give this to me

Bessie Bessie Bessie Bessie
Will ya will ya will ya will ya
Do what I need you, need you to do
Bessie Bessie Bessie Bessie

We’ve been married so long back since fifteen oh nine
It all started so well thought that we would be fine
But now it’s looking bleak and I keep losing heart
I need to find something new maybe make a fresh start

Bessie Bessie Bessie Bessie
Will ya will ya will ya will ya
Do what I need you, need you to do
Bessie Bessie Bessie Bessie

Could it be could it be that you're pregnant by me
And it’s not really all down to me
Could it be could it be that you're pregnant by me
And it’s not really over for me

Bessie Bessie Bessie Bessie
Will ya will ya will ya will ya
Do what I need you, need you to do
Bessie Bessie Bessie Bessie
Will ya will ya will ya will ya
Do what I need you, need you to do
