LYRICS:

My name is

My name is
My name is

Charles the Second.

​

I love the people and the people love me
So much that they restored the English monarchy

I’m part Scottish, French, Italian, a little bit Dane
But 100% party animal. Champagne?

​

Spaniels I adored, named after me too
Like me, they were fun with a nutty hairdo

Is today my birthday? I can’t recall
Let’s have a party anyway because I love a masked ball

​

All hail, the King of Bling

Let’s sing, bells ring, ding ding
I’m the king who brought back partying!

​

King Charles, my daddy lost his throne and Kings were banned
They chopped off his head then Ollie Cromwell ruled the land

Old Ollie wasn’t jolly, he was glum and he was proud
Would be miserable as sin, only sinning’s not allowed!

​

When Ollie died, the people said ‘Charlie, me hearty,

Get rid of his dull laws, come back, we’d rather party'

This action’s what they called the monarchy restoration
Which naturally was followed by a huge celebration!

​

The King of Eng (land, say!)
No sin to sing (okay!)
Or anything
All say, I’m the king who brought back partying!

​

Great London Fire was a whopper
In my reign, London City came a cropper
So this king did what was right and proper
Fought the fire, proved I’m more than a bopper
I’m a fire stopper!

​

Married Catherine Braganza, she was a love so true
There would never be another - well, maybe one or two

Lucy Walter, Nell Gwynne, Moll Davies, Barbara Villiers
You think that’s bad but her name’s not as silly as…
Hortense Mancini!

​

As King I must admit I broke the wedding rules
But who cares when I brought back the Crown Jewels?
I reinstated Christmas, make-up, sports and even plays
I was the Merrie Monarch, they were good old days

​

When said and done King Charles (that's me)

Did run England for fun
I was the King loved by everyone
My song is done.

​

(Party, anyone?)
