We are the Roundheads, we don't want kings no more,
|
That's why we started, the English civil war.
|
People say we're not fun, but we disagree,
|
Especially when explaining, parliamentary democracy.
|
We are particularly excited by the noticens of jurisprudence...
|
|
That's enough dullness, we're the calvaier crew,
|
Supporting King Charles, and everything that he'll do.
|
Puritians bore us, it's really a crime,
|
When your parliamentary buisness, cuts our parting time.
|
|
Roundheads, soundheads, keep the music down heads,
|
Rules and regulations led, dull but fair.
|
Calvariers three cheers, wackier head gears,
|
We live to boogie with our peers. Unfair? Don't care!
|
|
I am the king, I can do what I'd like,
|
Start up a war, or a big tax hike.
|
Got a french wife, she's a catholic.
|
|
O Lord!
|
Really king Charles, we're not quite sure!
|
|
Insolence! Is that how you talk to the crown,
|
I am the king, I'll just close parliament down.
|
I'll think you find, that's in need of due process.
|
Here's what we say to that, now clear up this mess!
|
|
Roundheads, soundheads, witches should be drowned heads,
|
Don't believe in crowned heads, parliament's our thing.
|
Calvaliers three cheers, your superiours,
|
We're all toffs who cry 'Here, Here' and 'God Save The King'.
|
|
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
|
|
Calvariers! Roundheads! The English Civil War!
|
(Why is it called 'civil'? May I kill you please? Sure! )
|
|
Love civil wars, to be fought on this land,
|
If I get to power, christmas will be banned.
|
No chance Cromwell, vitory will be mine,
|
You'll never pass a ban on mince pies and mulled wine.
|
|
That's what you think, just wait 'til you're caught,
|
I also scrap theatre, music and sport.
|
Your pathetic war will finish, even before it's begun,
|
We've taken Charles prisoner, the Roundheads have won!
|
Oh!
|
|
Victory three cheers, Cavaliers in tears,
|
No power for years, I'm the leader of the pack!
|
Charles head Roundhead, hurrah now the king's dead,
|
Sins binned instead a righteous track.
|
But we'll be back!
