We are the Roundheads, we don't want kings no more That's why we started the English civil war People say we're no fun, but we disagree Especially when explaining parliamentary democracy We are particularly excited by the notions of jurisprudence That's enough dullness, we're the cavalier crew Supporting King Charles, and everything that he'll do Puritans bore us, it's really a crime When your parliamentary business cuts our parting time Roundheads, soundheads, keep the music down heads Rules and regulations head, dull but fair Cavaliers 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 like Start up a war, or a big tax hike Got a french wife, she's a catholic Oh Lor! 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 breach 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 Cavaliers three cheers, your superiors We're all toffs who cry: Hear, hear, and God Save The King! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Cavaliers! 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, victory will be mine You'll never pass a ban on mince pies and mulled wine That's what you think, just wait till 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!)
