About The Monarchs Song 🎶 | Horrible Histories

Could you name all the Kings and Queens of England? LYRICS: I'm William the Conqueror, my enemies stood no chance They call me the first English king although I come from France 1066, The Doomsday Book I gave to history So fat on death my body burst- but enough about me! To help remember all your kings I've come up with this song A simple rhyming ditty for you all to sing along... Oh... William Bit short that, innit? Who came next? William Second, cheeks were red Killed out hunting, so it's said I took over- Henry One That's my next eldest son! Then came Stephen- it's true, check it! I'm Henry Two, killed Thomas Becket Richard Lionheart, that's right Always spoiling for a fight Oh King John, what a disaster Rule restrained by Magna Carta William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, HEY! Time for my mate, King Henry Eight, to take up this song: Henry Three built the abbey Ed One hated Scots A red-hot poker killed Ed Two That must have hurt him lots Ed III was a chivalry nerd Began the Hundred Years War Then Richard Two was king aged ten Then Henry- yes, one more! King Henry Four, plots galore Not least from Henry Five- moi Killed ten score at Agincourt Then Henry Six arrived! Edward Four, Edward Five, Richard III, he's bad 'Cause he fought wars with Henry Seven First Tudor and my dad So Henry Eight- I was great Six wives, two were beheaded Edward VI came next But he died young and so my dreaded... Daughter Mary ruled so scary Then along came- Me! I'm Liz the First I had no kids So Tudors RIP... William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, HEY! Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Richard, three more Henrys join our song! Edward, Edward, Rich III, Henry, Henry, Edward then Mary One, good Queen Bess! That's me, time for more men James Six of Scotland next As English James I he led Then Stuarts ruled, so Charles I The one who lost his head No monarchy until came me Charles Two, I liked to party! King Jimmy Two was scary- woo! Then Mary was a smarty! She ruled with Will Her shoes were filled By sour-puss Queen Anne Gloria And so from then we were ruled by men 'Til along came Queen Victoria! William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, HEY! Henry, Ed, Ed, Ed, Richard, three more Henrys join our song! Edward, Edward, Rich III, Henry, Henry, Edward then Mary One, good Queen Bess, Jimmy, Charles and Charles and then James, Will, Mary, Anne of Gloria Still to come is me, Victoria! And so began the Hanover gang George One and George Two! Grim! And George III was quite absurd 'Til I replaced old him! King George IV , and no heads forth Was angry, fat and cross Hang on!
