Ring Any Bells Rap |
by Pete Scott & Michael Cowell |
|||
|
She’s been on the throne for fifty years now It’s time to look where we’ve got to and how Mother of Parliaments, democracy Why do we still have a Royal Family? Chorus: She’s ruled us now for the longest of spells Does that sound familiar, does that ring any bells? Her husband is foreign, her son’s a clown Kids sleep in doorways, her reign’s falling down Rich wearing jewellery, poor with no coat If it could change things, would they let you vote? Chorus Some say that they’re feckless, aloof and worse Right Royal drain on our poor public purse Kept from the real world by wealth and might But they head the Empire, so that makes it right. Chorus The Prince of Wales’ mistress is known full well And the staff below stairs have tales to tell. I’m asking you if the choice were to rob Or swap lives with them, would you have their job? Chorus So come with us now as we time travel Back to Potts & Grieves and Danny the Gavel Back in time to 1887 To Mally’s pub, it’s hardly heaven But here is where they decide about The Queen’s Jubilee, they’ll scream and shout ‘Cos they’re a bit miffed about her big day The Queen has said, “The People Must Pay!”. Chorus |
