Hey, hey, girls! Hey, girls! Hey, girls! Hey, hey!
The King of Aragon sent to Wales then England
a girl ambassador, begins the royal lineage.
Couldn’t keep a boy alive. Banished from castle life. Oh, oh, oh!
What a fancy one! Raised in France and Netherlands.
Helped the royal crown from Rome gain independence.
Mother to a future Queen, but couldn’t charm the guillotine! Chop!
One o’ six for VIII, One o’ six for VIII,
One o’ six for VIII, One o’ six for VIII.
A plague prevented it, a proper coronation.
Trading old for new, a phoenix’ last breath taken.
Twenty-nine mourn the death. A son! A son she’s left!
Hans Holbein the Younger painted pretty portraits.
A flanders mare unveiled sudden disappointment.
Kiss away wedded bliss. You looked too close at a gift!
One o’ six for VIII, One o’ six for VIII,
One o’ six for VIII, One o’ six for VIII.
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!
A rose without a thorn blossomed in the summer,
spared herself the block ’til whispers in the winter.
Defending the sovereign crown. Gold Tarnished by the tower.
A baroness for children, marriage of convenience.
Few physical demands. Final attempt was taken.
The flame was almost gone. The last was the lucky one!
One o’ six for VIII, One o’ six for VIII,
One o’ six for VIII, One o’ six for VIII.
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.
