Lyric Oliver Cromwell


SPOKEN: THE MOST INTERESTING THING ABOUT
       KING CHARLES I IS THAT HE WAS 5 6"
       TALL AT THE START OF HIS REIGN,
       BUT ONLY 4 8" AT THE END OF IT...
       BECAUSE OF...

       Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protecteur of England
       PURITAN
       Born in 1599 and died in 1658
       SEPTEMBER
       Was at first       
       ONLY
       MP for Huntingdon
       BUT THEN
       He led the Ironside Cavalry at Marston Moor
       in 1644 and won.
       Then he founded the new model model army
       And praise be, beat the Cavaliers at Naisby
       And the King fled up North like a bat to the
       Scots.

SPOKEN: BUT UNDER THE TERMS OF JOHN PIMM S SOLEMN
       LEAGUE AND COVENANT, THE SCOTS HANDED KING
       CHARLES I OVER TO...

       Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protecteur of England
       AND HIS WARTS
       Born in 1599 and died in 1658
       SEPTEMBER
       But alas
       OY VAY!
       Disagreement then broke out
       BETWEEN
       The Presbyterian Parliament and the Military
       who meant
       To have an independent bent.
       And so...

       The 2nd Civil War broke out
       And the Roundhead ranks
       Faced the Cavaliers at Preston Banks
       And the King lost again, silly thing
       STUPID GIT

SPOKEN: AND CROMWELL SEND COLONEL PRIDE TO PURGE THE
       HOUSE OF COMMONS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN ROYALISTS
       LEAVING BEHIND ONLY THE RUMP PARLIAMENT...       

       Which appointed a High Court at Westminster
       Hall
       To indict Charles I for...tyranny
       OOOOHHH!
       Charles was sentenced to death
       Even though he refused to accept that the court
       had...jurisdiction
       SAY GOODBYE TO HIS HEAD

       Poor King Charles laid his head on the block
       JANUARY 1649
       Down came the axe, and...

SPOKEN: IN THE SILENCE THAT FOLLOWED, THE ONLY SOUND
       THAT COULD BE HEARD WAS A SOLITARY GIGGLE,
       FROM...

       Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protecteur of England
       OLE
       Born in 1599 and died in 1658
       SEPTEMBER
       Then he smashed
       IRELAND
       Set up the Commonwealth
       AND MORE
       He crushed the Scots at Worcester
       And beat the Dutch at sea
       In 1653 and then
       He dissolved the Rump Parliament
       And with Lambert s consent
       Wrote the instrument of Government
       Under which Oliver was Proctector at last
       The end.
