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.
