To The Tower - Horrific Histories

Today's entry is from my Horrific Histories collection. It's one of the ones I did submit and got a thank you letter and a signed photo of the cast for my trouble.
It's a reimagining of Nancy's song from Oliver as if she was detailing some of the historic events concerning the Tower of London.

Oom-Pah-Pah To The Tower not from Oliver

Somewhere in the city
There is a sight so pretty
Been standing there for years
For more years
Than you know
William Conqueror built it,
Began the year ten six six
And I say it’s exactly where you all should go...

To the tower! To the tower!
That's where I goes,
To the tower! To the tower!
Ev'ryone knows.
(There’s) secrets hidden beneath where the grass grows
So I say...to the tower!!

King Richard the Third had
A reputation for being bad--
Cause people said that he had killed his nephews.
Why should he have done it,
The throne? Already won it,
But it’s still an image
That he cannot refuse!

To the tower! To the tower!
That's where we goes,
To the tower! To the tower!
Ev'ryone knows.
Did Richard do it? What do you suppose?
Still we say...to the tower!?
(Did Richard do it? What do you suppose?

Pretty little Queen Anne
Was working on her grand plan,
To get the king to marry her and be his wife.
She’ll give him a daughter,
But not the child she oughta--
A year or two, and then she will
Pay with her life!

To the tower! To the tower!
That's where we goes,
To the tower! To the tower!
Ev'ryone knows.
Was hers a real trial, or was it just show--
Still we say to the tower!

Jane was born a lady,
Descended from royalty--
Allowed the Earl to crown  'er, then marry 'er off
To be a queen is tryin'
And this one soon is dyin’
She's sure to bring a crowd in,
When her block’s knocked off!

To the tower! To the tower!
That's where we goes,
To the tower! To the tower!
Ev'ryone knows.
Wishes to the crown she’d turned up her nose
Still we say... To the tower!

To the tower! To the tower!
To the tower! To the tower!
To the tower! To the tower!
To the tower! To the tower!

To the tower! To the tower! To the tower! To the tower!
To the tower! To the tower! To the tower! To the tower!

That's where we goes,
To the tower! To the tower!
Ev'ryone knows.
Staffed by Beefeaters and ravens not crows
Still we say...to the tower!!

To the tower! To the tower!
That's where we goes,
To the tower! To the tower!
Ev'ryone knows.
We’d all better get there before they close
So we say...to the tower!!
