Shout out to my princes
My precious royal boys
My hapsburgs and Tudors and great Fontleroys
You may not be kings
You may never teach that height
But to reign in our hearts is your divine right
Let’s hear it for Harry
A stately prince is he
He likes to get dressed up in his finery
His favourite costume is fatigues and a gun
And on occasion he’ll dress like a Nazi for fun
Let’s hear it for Phillip
A stately prince is he
Prince consort the sexiest kind you can be
We were often quite shocked by the things that you said
But you we really quite cheerful for a guy who’s undead
Let’s hear it for Andrew
A stately prince is he
Theres even a black sheep in the royal family
He liked to take plane rides with Jeffrey his friend
But they all got caught out so their fun had to end
Let’s hear it for Hamlet
A stately prince is he
Didnt know whether to be or not to be
A great prince of Denmark, its a shame that he’s dead
Cos the guy they’ve got now is some loser named Fred
Let’s hear it for Muhammad bin salman
A stately prince is he
Unlike most he actually runs a country
Some people say that he better than his dad
But if you enter his embassy you might leave in a bag
Let’s hear it for Lizzie
A stately queen was she
Ruled an Old brutal empire conquered by sea
When the people rose up then her colonies did fall
Then she still got paid millions for doing fuck all
