Original lyrics

EN

Of all the kings called Henry, I'm the one you've rarely heard Shakespeare wrote four, five, six, eight but seven not a word People think I'm dreary, to some extent I am But look a little closer, bam, bam, thank you ma'am! I didn't agree with King Richard three So I fought him at Bosworth field and won, victory! How cool does this sound, that I'm the king who found Richards crown in a hedge, on the winning battle ground The only way to end war and avert further disaster There's got to be a way to unite York and Lancaster! I'm the original tu-tu-tu Tudor Founder of that dynasty The man who closes the wars of the roses That's right, that's right, that's me! I launched attacks on lords who earned stacks Mine was a noble cause to tap them all for tax They paid their share, was only fair To make England rich, and me a millionaire Elizabeth York became my wife for life, that made me a bore? Joined our family seat, that's neat, made my rule secure! I'm the original tu-tu-tu Tudor Returning power to the state It seemed quite toothless, but actually ruthless I made the monarchy great! Spent a long time fighting, pretenders to the throne Lambert Simnel, Perkin Warbeck said my throne was their own They claimed they'd been the princes, in the tower their rule delayed I said 'this crown aint big enough for the three of us' and had one slayed! I'm the original tu-tu-tu Tudor King of foreign policy! To when hostile relations with enemy nations I asked them to make friends with me Yeah, the original tu-tu-tu Tudor They say dullness is my main trait Well that's a sad incitement, cause if you're looking for excitement My son was Henry the Eighth!
