LORDS<br>
(spoken)<br>
Your Majesty!<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
(spoken)<br>
Your Majesty!<br>
<br>
ELIZABETH<br>
(spoken)<br>
Lord Bingham. Lords. What news of our Empire?<br>
<br>
LORDS #1 AND #2<br>
Everything sails, your Highness,<br>
Troubles in France are dead<br>
<br>
LORDS #3 AND #4<br>
Nothing in Wales, your Highness,<br>
To bother the royal head<br>
<br>
LORDS #5 AND #6<br>
Taxes increase, your Highness;<br>
Even when gained by force<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
Ev'rywhere peace, your Highness;<br>
Ireland aside, of course...<br>
<br>
ELIZABETH<br>
(spoken)<br>
Ireland?<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
(spoken)<br>
Hardly worth mentioning.<br>
<br>
ELIZABETH<br>
(spoken)<br>
No. No please, Lord Bingham, mention it...<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
Well...<br>
Only last week, your Highness<br>
One of our ships attacked<br>
Caught in a sneak, your Highness,<br>
Boarded at dawn and sacked<br>
Leave it to us, your Highness,<br>
We'll locate the Irish ship<br>
What's to discuss, your Highness;<br>
Everything's...pip!<br>
<br>
LORDS AND BINGHAM<br>
Rah-rah, tip-top<br>
Ev'rything's right as rain<br>
Rah-rah, tip-top<br>
Here in the Queen's domain<br>
Sea to sea to sea<br>
The English crown is holding sway<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
Don't allow the Irish bog<br>
To taint the royal day<br>
<br>
LORDS AND BINGHAM<br>
As it has been!<br>
So shall it be!<br>
God save the Queen!<br>
England eternally<br>
<br>
Rah-rah, tip-top<br>
Perfectly in the pink!<br>
<br>
ELIZABETH<br>
(spoken)<br>
The captain of this ship you cannot locate - what is his name?<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
What's his name? I blush to testify<br>
And oh, you're bound to laugh when you hear why<br>
For, your Highness, it turns out, you see<br>
That he ... is a she<br>
<br>
ELIZABETH<br>
(spoken)<br>
What? A female captain?!<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
Grace O'Malley is her name,<br>
She strikes at night -<br>
Countless cruel, bloodthirsty men<br>
At her command<br>
Were I not bound for Asia<br>
I'd fix Ireland myself<br>
<br>
ELIZABETH<br>
If your true desire<br>
Is to see Ireland<br>
Brought to heel<br>
We commission you<br>
Lord Governor true<br>
Of all of Ireland<br>
Crush the clans<br>
The pirates too<br>
<br>
BINGHAM<br>
(spoken)<br>
But, your majesty...<br>
<br>
ELIZABETH<br>
Do not tha-a-a-a-a-ank me-<br>
Kneel<br>
<br>
LORDS<br>
Rah-rah, tip-top,<br>
Masterfully resolved!<br>
One bold stroke, the<br>
Matter of Ireland solved!<br>
<br>
"Difficult," King Henry said,<br>
"To govern like a king."<br>
One day out, already<br>
You've a handle on thing<br>
<br>
As it has been!<br>
So shall it be!<br>
God save the Queen!<br>
England eternally<br>
<br>
Rah-rah, tip-top<br>
So goes the old refrain<br>
Rah-rah, tip-top<br>
Ev'rything's right as rain!<br>
Ev'rything's right as rain!<br>
<br>
