I'm A Survivor - Horrific Histories

I wasn't quite sure which collection to put this under but I eventually went for Horrific Histories even though it is a recently penned creation.
In this entry, Catherine Parr gets her own parody song which could have been written for her even without the alterations. 

I'm A Survivor by Destiny's Child Catherine Parr
Said you want me for your wife, but I know better
I’m just like all of the others, want to live longer
You said that you loved Cath of Ar’gon, but you left her
You said that you wanted Anne Boleyn, but you killed her
You said you would stay with Jane Seymour, but she died young
Thought that you fell for Anna of Cleves, didn’t last long
You said you lusted for Cath Howard, found a cure

Now think you couldn't live without me, what’s my future?

I'm a survivor
Can’t afford ‘give up
I reached the top
Now got’ work harder
I'm a survivor
Just wanna make it
Want to survive
Keep on survivin'

I'm a survivor
Can’t afford ‘give up
I reached the top
Now got’ work harder
I'm a survivor
Just wanna make it
Want to survive
Keep on survivin'

Yes I was born in 1512, eldest daughter
My father died when I was just five, had but two peers
Married first to Sir Edward Burgh when, aged seventeen
Didn’t know he would die soon after, within four years
Then married John Neville next year, nobility
After treacherous times he, died in four-three
Fell in love with another, Thomas Seymour
But then you wanted me, I am your new amour

I'm a survivor
Can’t afford ‘give up
I reached the top
Now got’ work harder
I'm a survivor
Just wanna make it
Want to survive
Keep on survivin'

I'm a survivor
Can’t afford ‘give up
I reached the top
Now got’ work harder
I'm a survivor
Just wanna make it
Want to survive

I'm sayin’ you’re the best (The best)
Pray that we are blessed (Whoowhoo)
Hope for success, no stress, and lots of happiness (I'm so good like that)
I'm gon' to serve you just like a wife should (I'm so good like that)
I'm gon’ take care of you and your family (I'm so good like that)
I'm gon' to be dutiful when you’re away (I’m so good like that)
I'm gon' to stay true to my Christianity (I'm so good like that)
You know I'm not gon' argue you with your intellect
'Cause I know that’s how I will lose my head

I'm a survivor
Can’t afford ‘give up

Now got’ work harder
I'm a survivor

Divorced (Oh)
Beheaded (Oh)
Died (Oh)
Divorced (Oh)
Beheaded (Oh)
Alive (Ohh)
What’s next? (Ohh)
Survived?

After all of the darkness and sadness
Could come happiness
I will obtain myself a fourth wedding ring
And gain serenity
