Royal - !!!NEW!!!

Surprised, as a self-confessed Tudor geek, that I hadn't done a parody song for the Tudor matriarch before. I thought I'd better remedy that.

Royals not by Lorde

I didn’t have a choice in my own life
I cut my teeth on adulthood at age thirteen
I found that childbirth was a strife
Having been married, when still a preteen

And everyone was like woman, female, don’t care much about her
Feeble, child bride, can’t see there’s much to her
Didn’t care, would prove I was more than I seemed
‘Cause everyone was like civil war - we know we’re gonna win it
Red rose, white rose, we will soon decide it
They would see, that their future it was up to me

I wanted to be royal (royal)
Knew that it’s in my blood
The crown and throne is what I'll seek
And what I will help my son to reach
He will be the ruler (ruler)
I will make him king, see
And one day he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule
That’s what the future would be

So that is why as a widow
I always did whatever would best support him
And everyone they would soon know my purpose in life
Was only to exalt him

And everyone was like woman, female, don’t care much about her
Feeble, child bride, can’t see there’s much to her
Didn’t care, would prove I was more than I seemed
‘Cause everyone was like civil war - we know we’re gonna win it
Red rose, white rose, we will soon decide it
They would see, that their future it was up to me

I wanted to be royal (royal)
Knew that it’s in my blood
The crown and throne is what I'll seek
And what I will help my son to reach
He will be the ruler (ruler)
I will make him king, see
And one day he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule
That’s what the future would be

Yeah yeah yes
Even though it was a grand scheme
I knew that I would achieve that dream
Yeah yeah yes
Lived up to my family tree
Yes their future it was up to me

I wanted to be royal (royal)
Knew that it’s in my blood
The crown and throne is what I'll seek
And what I will help my son to reach
He will be the ruler (ruler)
I will make him king, see
And one day he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule, he’ll rule
That’s what the future would be
