They smiled so much and waved their flags | |
As she saluted to the military band | |
Most of the people failed to see | |
She had a broken bottle in the other hand | |
And she took them by surprise | |
When she took them by the throat | |
And said "My friend you're not allowed to vote" | |
But they shook it all off | |
With a nervous laugh and cough | |
"Next time," she said "I'll let those people choke" | |
The people who grinned themselves to death | |
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath | |
And even when their kids were starving | |
They all thought the queen was charming | |
She polished all upon the wall | |
And ran her hands right through her hair | |
So if the lady took the time to call | |
All the houses on the street would not compare | |
And she thought it really funny | |
That she hadn't any money | |
But those she looked up to, they had | |
But they shook it all off | |
With a nervous laugh and cough | |
And when they took her riches it was sad | |
The people who grinned themselves to death | |
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath | |
And even when their kids were starving | |
They all thought the queen was charming |
