the queen was sitting on the throne
but she wasn't sitting alone
the duke was parked up along side of her
and he was talking on the telephone

he was making arrangements
to go trout fishing in a Balmoral stream
and he asked the queen if she'd be keen
on a spot of fishing in the stream

they got out of their respective seats
and the queen ordered a carriage to her Balmoral retreat
the game park warden there
prepared a fishing rod for the two
and they hastened to the stream
without further adieu

the duke cast his rod and so did the queen
they had no luck in catching one single trout
apparently there were fish thieves about

back at Balmoral Castle
the queen wrote a proclamation
stating that all fish thieves
would be banned in her nation

the queen wasn't well pleased
with the fish thieves stealing
her's and the duke's catch
and her proclamation
was quickly dispatched
