English Civil War

Horrible Histories


We are the Roundheads, we don't want kings no more
That's why we started, the English civil war
People say we're not fun, but we disagree
Especially when explaining, parliamentary democracy
We are particularly excited by the noticens of jurisprudence

That's enough dullness, we're the calvaier crew
Supporting King Charles, and everything that he'll do
Puritians bore us, it's really a crime
When your parliamentary buisness, cuts our parting time

Roundheads, soundheads, keep the music down heads
Rules and regulations led, dull but fair
Calvariers three cheers, wackier head gears
We live to boogie with our peers. Unfair? Don't care!

I am the king, I can do what I'd like
Start up a war, or a big tax hike
Got a french wife, she's a catholic

O Lord!
Really king Charles, we're not quite sure!

Insolence! Is that how you talk to the crown
I am the king, I'll just close parliament down
I'll think you find, that's in need of due process
Here's what we say to that, now clear up this mess!

Roundheads, soundheads, witches should be drowned heads
Don't believe in crowned heads, parliament's our thing
Calvaliers three cheers, your superiours
We're all toffs who cry 'Here, Here' and 'God Save The King'

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Calvariers! Roundheads! The English Civil War!
(Why is it called 'civil'? May I kill you please? Sure!)

Love civil wars, to be fought on this land
If I get to power, christmas will be banned
No chance Cromwell, vitory will be mine
You'll never pass a ban on mince pies and mulled wine

That's what you think, just wait 'til you're caught
I also scrap theatre, music and sport
Your pathetic war will finish, even before it's begun
We've taken Charles prisoner, the Roundheads have won!
Oh!

Victory three cheers, Cavaliers in tears
No power for years, I'm the leader of the pack!
Charles head Roundhead, hurrah now the king's dead
Sins binned instead a righteous track
But we'll be back!
