What are the lyrics to Henry The Eight Songs Of Horrible Histories?

Answer 1

Divorced, beheaded and died

Divorced, beheaded, survived

I'm Henry the Eighth, I had six sorry wives

Some might say I ruined their lives

Catherine of Aragon was one

She failed to give me a son

I had to ask her for a divorce

That broke her poor heart of course

Young Anne Boleyn she was two

Had a daughter, the best she could do

I said she flirted with some other man

And off for the chop went poor Anne

Lovely Jane Seymour was three

The love of a lifetime for me

She gave me a son, Little Prince Ed

Then poor old Jane, went and dropped dead

Divorced, beheaded and died

Divorced, beheaded, survived

I'm Henry The Eighth, I had six sorry wives

Some might say I ruined there lives

Anne of Cleeves came at four

I fell for the portrait I saw

Then laid eyes on her face and cried

She's a horse! I must have another divorce

Catherine Howard was five

A girl of nineteen, so alive

She flirted with others, no way to behave

The axe sent young Cath to her grave

Cathrine Parr she was last

By then all my best days were past

I lay on my deathbed, aged just 55

Lucky Catherine, the last stayed alive

Divorced, beheaded and died

Divorced, beheaded survived

I'm Henry The Eighth, I had six sorry wives

Some might say I ruined there lives

Answer 2

Was the summer of seven ninety three, when we sailed across the great North Sea

Comets crossed the skies that night, must have known something wasn't right

We arrived upon your English shore, you offered friendship but we wanted more

Yes, so much more-o-o-ore!

We're tearing up this place tonight, LITERALLY!

We're gonna set this sleepy town alight, LITERALLY!

We'll kill and steal, burn and drink cause we Vikings don't care what you thi-i-ink

O-o-o-oh...

Let me in won't you please? We're here to raid your monasteries

We're proud and ready to attack, and we love how Monks just don't fight back

You'll die or become a slave to me, though our slaves often get chucked in the sea

If the boats heavy! Yeah yeah!

You're gonna lose your head my friend, LITERALLY!

We're gonna get ya in the end, LITERALLY!

We're gonna drink a toast from your skull, cause we're Vikings and that's how we roll..

O-o-o-oh...

-Guitar solo-

We're gonna paint the whole town red, LITERALLY!

With the blood of the dead, LITERALLY!

We'll take everything that you own, get back on our ship and go back home..

O-o-o-oh...

We are going home, ho-o-o-ome.. x3

Answer 3

Gonna cause a stink, won't be the first to blink

I'm not who you think, don't mess with me

I'm boudicca

My husband Prasatorgus died, he was a Celtic king

I was his queen so due to me was half of everything

Roman law gave half to me so half is what they got

Till' their nasty soldiers came and took the blessed lot

Hey mister, I say you got the wrong end of the stick

His answer turned this sister into one angry chick

No man, Roman will push around this woman

You won't get far, with Boudicca

Bow man, yo man, smash the Roman, foe man

All say ya, 'ya', Boudicca

I built a massive army, headed straight for the city

Beat em' all with ease, unlike me, it wasn't pretty

Chopped em' and hacked, but what made their red blood curl:

'It's bad enough bein' beaten, but beaten by a girl!'

Wacked em' smacked em' boy how we attacked em'

Near and far, ha, ha, ha

Flayed em' slayed em', up and down parade em'

Boudicca, toughest by far

'Colchester, London, St Albans, everybody talk about : dead Romans

We marched on up the roman road that's known as Watling Street

They trapped us in the forest then thrashed us to our defeat

By now you've guessed I'm not the kind of gal who'd sit and cry

Be sold a slave to Romans, you know I'd rather die

They tried to take me prisoner so I led the roman boys on

Instead of givin' into them I swallowed special poison

Marter, smarter, captured and non-starter

this was our, last hoorah

slaughtered, dismembered, our tribe always remembered

Boudicca, Superstar

Boudicca, Superstar

Answer 4

I'm sure you've heard the Stone Age occurred

For two and a half million years

But there's more of Stone Age to engage

Than maybe it first appears

Dinosaurs, Neanderthals

Let's make this clearer

Didn't live together

Came from different eras

That's not all I can tell you

So much more to be known

About the many phases

In the ages of stone

Shooby-dooby-doo-wap

It's all the rage

To skiddly-bap-doo-wa

Brush up on your Stone Age

Oh yeah! All right!

It's fine to define

An era Palaeolithic

But you're gonna have to be

A little more specific

Do you mean lower

When ancient beings first used tools?

Or middle Palaeolithic

When Neanderthal ruled?

That's when Homo sapiens

Starts to emerge

But just in Africa

It's long before the global surge

Not till upper Palaeolithic

Forty thousand years ago

Did Neanderthal and Homo sapiens say hello

Neanderthal and Homo sapi-

Living in caveman harmony

Language was invented

Cave painting art

Then Palaeolithic ended

Which meant the start

Of phase two-be-doo-be-doo-wap

Turn a new page

Skiddly-bap-doo-wah

Buck up on the Stone Age

Oh yeah! All right!

This is where it starts to

Get all scientific

Palaeolithic's followed by

The era Mesolithic

Then Neanderthals are wiped out

By the ice age - horrific!

After which the Neolithic age

Was terrific

Man learned to farm

Built homes so they could settle

Then some other folks turned up

And they discovered metal

Bigger men from Europe

Found bronze and outgrown

The simple and traditional ways of stone

Bronze Age was invented

By now man was flying

'Cause hot on its heels

Came the age of iron

Celts, Druids

Religion then Rome

By now a distant memory

Those ages of stone

Shooby-dooby-doo-wap

Since that metallic stage

Skiddly-bap-doo-wah

There was no more Stone Age

Shooby-dooby-doo-wap

Now you know what is known

About the many phases

Of the ages of stone

Yeah! All right!
