Though we hardly
Knew you at all
You had the sense to make some cash
And you were rather tallAnd it seems to me
You made your dosh
Like a banker on the run
Now your mum goes back to saying
'Doors to manual'And I would have liked to know you
And made heaps of dough
But the marriage lost life long before
My eyebrows ever didPosted 2 years ago # -

We really thought your were great
We had a day off from work
Those of us with jobs
You called out to our country
In your very poshhest voice
Now you’re somewhere else
And the tabloids spell out your name
chorus
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like someone really rich
Never caring about the plebs
without a stitch
And your footsteps will always fall here
where everything smells of paint
Your candle's burned out long before
The public gave a tossRepublicans, we've lost
These empty days without a vote
This torch we'll always carry
For a leader based on birth
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
Are we sob into our beers
[repeat chorus]
Goodbye England's Kate
Not Jock or Taff or Mick,
We paid for your wedding
and keep on paying still
Goodbye England's Will
From a country lost without a soul
Who'll miss the sense of fairness
Something you’ll never knowthough the first verse of the original is apt
Goodbye ***** ***** Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your namePosted 2 years ago # -

Goodbye England's Kate
You should never
Have gone to France
And booked in at a hotel
And then taken your chance
You went in your Mercedes
From grandad Phil
And bumped into a Uno
Though they don't make those ones stillAnd it seems to me
You should have worn
Your seat belt in the back
So don't blame the scooter riders
Or the large press pack
Still at least it keeps the papers'
Circulation high
And pretty soon you're going to be
