Courtlife

George III was a creature of habit and had a routine that was only ever to be disturbed by special events or meetings that he had to attend. And here he is to tell you all about his court life...

LYRICS:

Here’s the thing, I’m the King

I have ministers and minions

Millions, well a few, so let me tell you about my court life.

 

Most days I’m awake by 5am. I love clocks!

I’m a dull man who likes dull food

Boiled eggs, toast, plate. (Fork knife!)

 

Then its off to prayers, I love praying!

Like clocks too, but not as much as I like God

And believe in the (next life!)

 

Happy to spend hours in ice-cold churches.

Not sold on all this cold drama

Frankly calmer as a dairy farmer!

 

All the courtiers

Noble sons and daughters

We all bow hand in hand

Bending backs in my court life!

 

Did I tell you I like clocks?

I don’t like loud knocks on the door

It enrages my sense of enormous well-being. (Quiet life!)

​

I don’t ask much of my pages,

Just no coughing, spitting, sneezing or moving!

(Still life!)

​

Oh, and don’t come between me and the door

Else you’re stuck here until me or the Queen decides to leave.

(Poor wife!)

​

And when you enter the room

Walk slowly backwards towards the wall.

(Whoops, careful now!)

​

All the courtiers,

Noble sons and daughters

We all bow and offer our hands

Think most of them can’t stand court life!

​

(Do you know what one means?)
