Lyrics:
You don’t know who you’re lookin’ at
Now just you look at me
I’m a bit of a nob I am
Belong to royaltee
I’ll tell you how it got about
I married widow burch
I was king of England when we
Dobbered out the church

Outside the people started shoutin’
“Hip-hoorray”
Said “Go down upon your knee
It’s Coronation Day”

I’m Henery the Eighth I am
Henery the Eighth I am I am
I got Married to the widow next door
She’d been married seven times before

Everyone was a Henery
She wouldn’t have a willie or a Sam
I’m her eighth old man named Henery
Henery the Eighth I am

I left the duke of Cumberland
A pub up in the town
Soon with one or two Monarchs
I was holding up me crown

Seated on the bucket
What the common call their own
Surrounded by my me subjects
I was sitting on the throne

Up came the portman
He said “Now get off to bed”
Said I “Now say another word
And off’ll go your head”

The undertaker called and to the wife
I heard him say
“Have you got any orders mum
We’re very slack today”

I picket up number seven for ya,
For the golden gate
Let’s have a pund upon account
Of Henery the Eighth”

Oh when he measured me
With half a yard of string
I dropped upon me marrow bones
And sang “God save the king”
