Favourite Kings - Horrific Histories

As there is currently a thunderstorm going on outside, I thought now would be a good time to start singing about our favourite things. Or, in the case of this parody I wrote for Horrible Histories, 'Favourite Kings'.
All together now...


Favourite Things Kings not from The Sound of Music

Tudors and Stuarts and then Hanoverians
Plantagenets and lets not leave the Normans
(Of) Lancaster, Yorkists and Windsors I’ll sing
(And) tell you a few of my favourite kings

King Henry the Eighth now he had six weddings
Richard the First - Lionheart was his heading
King George III he said lots of weird things
These are a few of my favorite kings

King Henry the Fifth beat the French quite soundly
George the Fourth sadly he was quite roundly
King Charles the First he had a sad ending
These are a few of my favorite kings



It’s a list of
Just a few of
Kings that we have known
There are many more for you still left in store
So please sit there and don’t moan



Tudors and Stuarts and then Hanoverians
Plantagenets and lets not leave the Normans
(Of) Lancaster, Yorkists and Windsors I’ll sing
(And) tell you a few of my favourite kings

William the Conqueror he won us at Hastings
Richard III at Bosworth took a pasting
Edward the Eighth said that love was the thing

These are a few of my favourite kings

Let’s not forget all the queens that we have had
Some were quite good queens but then some were quite bad
Liz, Mary, Anne & Queen Vic was the thing
(But) this is a list of my favourite kings

It’s a list of
Just a few of
Kings that we have had
There are many more for you still left in store
But I’m out of time too bad
