Remember back, yes it was a long time ago When England and its minions lost their one and only, Lizzy the Busy, she did get about for an older kind of crow
Flying to her outposts and then in her nineties Still dragging that old codger about, Philip the Greek Insulting the natives, well he is a kind of royalty
His odd quip on the colour of somebodies skin, Never mind how are, what a lovely child and how have you been She married a corker there, no messing
The lands that carried her name all bowing to her superiority Many of them just peasants not knowing of her really From Gibraltar through to Hong Kong where they made her royal tea
Man landed on the moon, remembered for a thousand years If real or made in a Universal studio The passing of our Queen so real, some still holding back their tears
Reality strikes when you see what she has left of this once great land Down to her kids to run this Island of such history And not left it drift to the sea as if built on sinking sand
Monarchy and Royalty march hand in hand from the times of history Lets not forget the power that we once held To be banished away by the politically correct to leave us as a sad story
As she would turn in her grave if this once great power dissolved and died She may not have said it but her wit and allegiance were British through and through Grow a backbone and be proud again, and show them at least we tried to be true
