[Intro]

C D

My name is, my name is

My name is, Charles II!

[Verse 1]

I love the people

And the people love me

So much that they restored

The English monarchy!

[Verse 2]

I'm part Scottish, French, Italian

A little bit Dane

But one hundred percent party animal

Champagne?

[Verse 3]

Spaniels I adored

Named after me too

Like me, they were fun

With a nutty hair do!

I can't recall

Let's have a party anyway

Because I love a masked ball!

[Chorus]

A G

All hail, the king!

A G

Of bling! Let's sing!

A G

Bells ring! Ding ding!

I'm the king who brought back partying!

[Verse 5]

King Charles, my daddy

Lost his throne and kings were banned

They chopped off his head

A Then Olly Cromwell ruled the land

[Verse 6]

Old Olly wasn't jolly

He was glum, and he was proud

Would be miserable as sin

Only sinning's not allowed!

[Verse 7]

When Olly died, the people said

'Charlie, me hearty!

Get rid of his dull laws

Come back, we'd rather party!

[Verse 8]

This action's what they called

The monarchy restoration

Which naturally was followed

By a huge celebration!

[Chorus]

A G

The King of Eng! (Land say!)

No sin! Too sing! (Okay!)

A G

Or anything! All say,

I'm the king who brought back partying!

[Verse 9]

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!

The crown jewels?

I reinstated Christmas

Make up, sports and even plays

I was the merry monarch

They were good old days!

[Chorus]

A G

When said and done!

A G

King Charles did run!

A G

England for fun!

I was the king loved by everyone

My song is done!
