What are the Lyrics to Henry eighth song from horrible histories?

Verse 1:

I am Henry the Eighth, I am, I am,

I am the King of England, I am, I am.

I have six wives, they all died quick,

I’m the greatest King that ever lived! Yayy!

(Chorus)

Henry VIII, Henry VIII,

He was a right royal pain.

He had six wives, he chopped off their heads,

And now he’s rotting in his grave. Yayy!

Verse 2:

I married Catherine of Aragon, she was my first,

But she couldn’t give me a son, so I had to let her go.

Then I married Anne Boleyn, she was a real hottie,

But she was a bit of a flirt, so I had to chop off her head.

(Chorus)

Henry VIII, Henry VIII,

He was a right royal pain.

He had six wives, he chopped off their heads,

And now he’s rotting in his grave. Yayy!

Verse 3:

Then I married Jane Seymour, she was my third,

And she gave me a son, so I was finally happy.

But then she died in childbirth, so I was sad again.

I married Anne of Cleves, she was my fourth,

But she was ugly, so I sent her back to her father.

(Chorus)

Henry VIII, Henry VIII,

He was a right royal pain.

He had six wives, he chopped off their heads,

And now he’s rotting in his grave. Yayy!

Verse 4:

Then I married Catherine Howard, she was my fifth,

But she cheated on me, so I had to chop off her head.

Then I married Catherine Parr, she was my sixth,

And she was the only one who survived me.

(Chorus)

Henry VIII, Henry VIII,

He was a right royal pain.

He had six wives, he chopped off their heads,

And now he’s rotting in his grave. Yayy!

(Outro)

So that’s the story of Henry VIII,

A right royal pain in the neck.

But he was also a great King,

And he will never be forgotten.
