LYRICS:
I took the throne of England
Just ’cos I was protestant
A German, a prince whose English stank,
King George number one.
​
I like to argue, now that’s clear
Especially with my father here
And when he died of diarrhoea
I fought with my son.
​
I broke records with my sixty year reign
And I broke the scales with my giant frame.
​
Born to rule over you
King George four, three, one and two
You had to do what we told you to
Just because our blood was blue.
​
I was a hunk, girls adored me
Ladies all swooned before me
They would do anything for me
Or I’d have their husbands killed.
​
Had a war with Prince Charles Bonnie
Everyone said that I was f-f-funny
I spent everyone’s money
Our subjects were not thrilled.
​
I was the sad one, I was the bad one
I was the mad one, and I was the fat one.
​
We were born to rule over you
Georges one, three, four and two.
England’s kings, though we were German too
Him, then him, then me, then you.
​
(We were born) Born to rule over you (born to rule)
Gorged on fruit then I died on the loo.
People hated us, and we hated them too.
Born to rule over you.
​
Born to rule over you
Me I was as batty as a bonkers kangaroo.
Me I would have been more at home in a zoo
And now, now our song is through.
​
Yeah… Georges. (Banana.)
HISTORICAL ACCURACY
In the original broadcast, there is the mistake George I sings 'gorged on fruit then I died on the loo', when this should have been sung by George II. In the Big Prom Party this change of lines is corrected.
