Charles Ii

D5              E5                G5
Hi, my name is, what? My name is, who?
             F5
My name is, Charles II


[Verse 1]
D5                     E5
I love the people and the people love me
      G5                               F5
So much that they restored the English Monarchy
D5                 E5                      G5
I’m part Scottish, French, Italian a little bit Dane
                            F5
But one hundred percent party animal. Champagne?
D5                          E5
Spaniels I adored, named after me too
      G5                        F5
Like me they were fun with a nutty hairdo
D#                       E5
Is today my birthday? I can’t recall.
                            F5
Let’s have a party anyway because I love a masked ball


[Chorus]
    D5       E5      G5
All hail the king of bling
      D5          E5         G5
Let’s sing, bells ring, ding ding
        F5
I’m the king who brought back partying


[Verse 2]
D5                               E5
King Charles, my daddy, lost his throne and kings were banned
G5                                 F5
They chopped off his head and Olly Cromwell ruled the land
D5              E5                        G5
Old Olly wasn’t jolly he was glum and he was proud

                F5
Would me miserable a sin only sinning’s not allowed
D5                             E5
When Olly died the people said ‘Charlie me hearty
G5                                       F5
Get rid of his dull laws, come back we’d rather party
D5                    E5                      G5
This action’s what we call the Monarchy Restoration
F5
Which naturally was followed by a huge celebration


[Chorus]
    D5       E5      G5
All hail the king of Eng
      D5   E5
No sin, to sing
   D5 E5
Or a-nything
        F5
I’ll say I’m the king who brought back partying

D5           E5         G5
Great London Fire was a whopper
                                F5
In my reign London city came a-cropper
        D5                          E5
So this king did what was right and proper
       G5                              F5
Fought the fire proved I’m more than a bopper!

N.C.
I’m a fire stopper!
D5                             E5
Married Catherine Braganza she was love so true
           G5                             F5
There would never be another, well maybe one or two

D5                             E5
Lucy Walter, Nell Gwynne, Moll Davies, Barbara Villers
    G5                      F5
You think that’s bad but her name’s not as silly as
 N.C.
 Hortense Mancini!


[Verse 3]
   D5                  E5*
As king I must admit I broke the wedding rules
        G5*                 F5*
But who cares when I brought back the crown jewels?
  D5                           E5
I reinstated Christmas, makeup sports and even plays
  G5                         F5
I was the merry monarch they were the good old days


[Chorus]
      D5       E5       G5          D5
When said and done king Charles did run
    E5      G5
England for fun
          F5
I was the king loved by everyone my song is done.
