Horrible Histories Songs: Lyrics Book [COMPLETED]

Ridiculous Romance Special: Love Rats

Henry the 8th:
I'm Henry Eight,
As you know,
I'm the King who married six.
But I'm not what you call romantic though,
In fact in love,
I was the pits.
Cath and Jane and Cath,
All ended up divorced or dead.

Emperor Nero:
I'm just the same,
Nero's the name.
Killed the wife,
Sent my girlfriend the gift of her head.
Then Poppaea met a bad end,
Kicked and beaten,
I'm the worst boyfriend!

William the Conquerer:
That was I was doing,
When I was wooing my wife Matilda.
What? I never killed her!

All:
Love Rats.

William the Conquerer:
I only married once,
Shouldn't be in this song.

All:
Love Rats.
William the Conquerer you are wrong!

Cleopatra:
It wasn't just men,
Some rats were wonderfully pretty!
I'm Cleopatra,
Loved a match that offered power.
Married one brother, he died.
I wed another, but he wasn't the one for me.
Julius Caesar, my next romantic squeeze,
Ended up with Mark Antony.

William the Conquerer:
His death was your fault,
As I recall.

Cleopatra:
Didn't mean for that to happen at all.

William the Conquerer:
Still think I shouldn't be here,
I held my wife dear!

Edward 8th:
After you bullied her,
I'd say it's fully fair.

All:
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba,
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba,
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

Love Rats.

William the Conquerer:
Who are you?
You don't look bad.

All:
Love Rats.

Edward 8th:
Edward Eight,
Twentieth century lad.

Henry the 8th:
Edward the Eighth?

Emperor Nero:
Now theirs no debate.

Cleopatra, Henry, William and Nero:
You really shouldn't be here!

Edward 8th:
I do agree,
Though love conquered me,
Abdicated the throne for Wallis Simpson dear.

All:
Love Rats.

Edward 8th:
Wallis divorced so I was forced to pick.

All:
Love Rats.

Edward 8th:
Between love and crown.

Cleopatra, Henry, William and Nero:
You chose love, that's sick.

All:
Love Rats.

Edward 8th:
Was a national crisis when I stepped down as King.

All:
Love Rats.

Moonlight and roses,
Not really our thing.
