Horrible Histories - George IV Solo lyrics

rate me

'm George IV, the regent king

Which means I was just standing in

Acting king because my dad

George III had gone barking mad!

Great palaces, I did design

Buckingham was one of mine

Art and fashion, I so rated

And wives? That's more complicated!

Actresses and duchesses

The great loves of my life

I loved more girls than I ate pies

But I couldn't stand my wife

(He couldn't stand his wife!

Go away! )

I only married Queen Caroline

When my debts began to climb

'Cause if I agreed to tie the knot

I said I'd pay off the lot!

But the wedding caused all sorts of strife

'Cause I already had a wife

A divorced Catholic? Dad did sigh

But the mad old goat just wouldn't die!

(Still here! Oh, spoke too soon!

At last, I can go solo! )

As true king, my reign began

Though I was now older than your nan

And as the ruler of our nation

I banned my wife from my coronation

And knowing now that I did hate her

She promptly died just three weeks later

But all those pies that I got through

Meant ten years later, I died too!

(Hello, have we met? I'm a kangaroo! )

Actresses, duchesses

The great loves of my life

I loved more girls than I ate pies

But I couldn't stand my wife

I had just ten years on the throne

Do you remember that?

No, all that you remember is...

I was really fat!
