Oh, the | minstrels sing of an English king |
of many long years ago,
G7 | |
Who | ruled his land with an iron hand |
C | |
though his | morals were weak and low. |
His only outer garment was a dirty undershirt
G7 | |
That | managed to hide the royal pride |
C | |
but | never hid the dirt. |
Chorus:
F | |
He was | wild and woolly and full of fleas |
C | G7 | |
And he | had his women by twos and | threes. |

God | bless the | Bastard | king of | Eng | lan | d. |
Oh, the Queen of Spain was an amorous Jane,
a lascivious wench was she,
Who loved to play in a royal way
with the King across the sea.
She often sent a message by royal messenger,
To ask the king to come and spend a night or two with her.
Now, the King he had a rival bold
whose name was Philip of France,
Who swore he'd stop this carrying on
by the seat of his royal pants.
So off he sent straightway to Spain to steal the Queen away;
And foil the King with a royal ring
and all on a summer's day.
When the news of this foul deed was heard
within the royal halls,
The King he swore by the shirt he wore,
he'd have his rival's neck.
So he sent for the Duke of Zippity-Zap,
who had a dose of the clippety-clap,
To pass it on to Philip of France
and all on a summer's day.
So, the Queen grew very wary when she next saw
Philip of France.
She decided that the Frenchman had gone
and lost his chance.
So then she straightway called our King
and offered him her hand,
And the sound of wedding bells was heard
throughout the land.
They had a royal wedding—all his subjects * ' «f
wish him well.
And the dancers danced without their pants,
and so did the king as well.
His only outer garment was a dirty yellow shirt,
With which he tried to hide his hide
but he couldn't hide the dirt.
