CATHERINE OF ARAGON:
Listen up, let me tell you a story

ANNE BOLEYN:
A story that you think
You've heard before

JANE SEYMOUR:
We know you know our names
And our fame and our faces

ANNE OF CLEVES:
Know all about the glories
And the disgraces

KATHERINE HOWARD:
I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been just one word
In a stupid rhyme

CATHERINE PARR:
So I picked up a pen and a microphone

ALL:
History's about to get overthrown

CATHERINE OF ARAGON:

ALL:
But just for you tonight
We're divorced, beheaded
LIVE!
Welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives
Raising up the roof
Till we hit the ceiling
Get ready for the truth
That we'll be revealing
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
...but now we're ex-wives

CATHERINE OF ARAGON:
All you ever hear
And read about

ANNE BOLEYN:
Is our ex and the way it ended

JANE SEYMOUR:
But a pair doesn't beat a royal flush

ANNE OF CLEVES:
You're gonna find out
How we got unfriended

KATHERINE HOWARD:
Tonight we gonna do ourselves justice
'Cause we're taking you to court

CATHERINE PARR:
Every Tudor Rose has its thorns
And you're gonna hear 'em live in consort

CATHERINE OF ARAGON:
Divorced

ANNE BOLEYN:
Beheaded

JANE SEYMOUR:
Died

ANNE OF CLEVES:
Divorced

KATHERINE HOWARD:
Beheaded

CATHERINE PARR:
Survived

ALL:
But just for you tonight
We're divorced, beheaded
LIVE!
Welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives
Dancing to the beat
Till the break of day. Once
We're done, we'll start again
Like it's the Renaissance
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
...but now we're ex-wives

Divorced

CATHERINE OF ARAGON:
My name is Catherine of Aragon
Was married 24 years, I'm a paragon
Of royalty, my loyalty is to the Vatican
So if you try to dump me
You won't try that again

ALL:
Beheaded

ANNE BOLEYN:
I'm that Boleyn girl
And I'm up next, see
I broke England from the Church
Yeah, I'm that sexy
Why did I lose my head?
Well my sleeves may be green
But my lipstick's red!

ALL:
Died

JANE SEYMOUR:
Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved

ALL:
Rude

JANE SEYMOUR:
When my son was newly born
I died, but I'm not what I seem
Or am I?
Stick around and you'll
Suddenly see more...

ALL:
Divorced

ANNE OF CLEVES:
Ich bin Anna of Cleves

ALL:
Ja

ANNE OF CLEVES:
When he saw my portrait he was like...

ALL:
Jaa

ANNE OF CLEVES:
But I didn't look as good
As I did in my pic
Funny how we all discuss that
But never Henry's little...

KATHERINE HOWARD:
Prick up your ears, I'm the Katherine
Who lost her head

ALL:
Beheaded

KATHERINE HOWARD:
For my promiscuity outside of wed
Lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
K Howard is here
And the fun's begun

ALL:
Survived

CATHERINE PARR:
Five down, I'm the final wife
I saw him to the end of his life
I'm the survivor, Catherine Parr
I bet you wanna know how I got this far
I said I bet you wanna know
How we got this far

ALL:
Do you wanna know how we got this far?
Then welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives
Get your hands up
Get this party buzzing
You want a queen Bee
Well there's half a dozen
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives
But now we're ex-wives!

One

Four
Five

SIX!
