Verse 1:
I'm King Henry the Eighth, I am, I am!
I'm Henry VIII, I am!
I had six wives, some still alive
But off with their heads cause I’m the King, I am!
Verse 2:
Elizabeth I, with the fiery red hair
She ruled for forty-five years, long reign for a Queen
She defeated the Spanish Armada
All that while remaining, a virgin Queen!
Chorus:
Horrible histories!
Bloody, violent histories
Horrible histories!
They’re so much fun
Verse 3:
Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector
He fought the King and chopped his head off
Then he ruled with an iron fist
And made the country very strict, oh oh
Verse 4:
King Charles II, the Merry Monarch
He loved to party, drink and dance
But he was a bit too fond of the ladies
And he left the country in a right old mess
Chorus:
Horrible histories!
Bloody, violent histories
Horrible histories!
They’re so much fun
Bridge:
These are just a few, of our Horrible Kings & Queens
There's so many more to learn
In the Horrible Histories!
Verse 5:
So, join us now, and we’ll take you back
To the past, to meet these awful lot
You’ll laugh and you’ll learn, and you’ll never forget
The Horrible Histories!
Chorus:
Horrible histories!
Bloody, violent histories
Horrible histories!
They’re so much fun
