In the days of old, when knights were bold
And kings were cruel and queens were cold
When robbers ruled the land and brave men stood apart
There lived a man who wasn't very smart
Chorus
Horrible Histories, they'll make you barf
Horrible Histories, they'll make you laugh
Horrible Histories, they'll make you cry
Horrible Histories, you can't deny
Verse 2
He didn't know much about the world
He didn't know his left from right
He didn't know how to read or write
And he didn't know how to fight
Chorus
Horrible Histories, they'll make you barf
Horrible Histories, they'll make you laugh
Horrible Histories, they'll make you cry
Horrible Histories, you can't deny
Verse 3
He was a dim-witted fool,
But he was a happy soul
He never worried about anything
And he always had a smile on his face
Chorus
Horrible Histories, they'll make you barf
Horrible Histories, they'll make you laugh
Horrible Histories, they'll make you cry
Horrible Histories, you can't deny
Outro
So here's to the horrible histories
The bloody and the gory days
The torture and the beheadings
The plagues and the famines
The wars and the battles
The kings and the queens
The brave men and the women
The fools and the wise men
And all the rest of the characters
Who made history so horrible
