Shout Out to my Princes

Written by Emma Norton and Dan Kenny

A homage to all the 'great' royalty the world has to offer.

LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

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


VERSE 1

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


CHORUS


VERSE 2

Let’s hear it for Phillip
A stately prince was 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


CHORUS


VERSE 3

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


VERSE 3 (Alt. 19-02-26)

Let’s hear it for Andrew
A stately prince was he
Theres even a black sheep in the royal family
He liked to take plane rides with Jeffrey and Ghislaine
But he got sent to prison, yet just for one day


CHORUS


VERSE 4

Let’s hear it for Hamlet
A stately prince was 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


CHORUS


VERSE 5

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


CHORUS


VERSE 6

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


CHORUS
