Chumbawamba (2000) Her Majesty (The Beatles, a reworking)

A Beatles cover, sort of. They added 3 verses and a couple of bridges to the song, revealing their dislike for Madge.



Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she doesn’t have a lot to say

Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a belly full of wine

Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl someday I’m gonna make her mine

Oh yeah, someday I’m gonna make her mine



Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she never does a thing for me

Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she keeps the worst company

All the lords and the ladies in waiting all crawling in the dirt like swine

Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but I hope she’s the end of the line

Oh yeah, I hope she’s the end of the line



Her majesty’s living in a land of curtsies

A world of blue blood and Nazis, yeah



Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but I think she ought to call it a day

Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl without one good reason to stay

I’d like to take her for a whiskey or two, but I’ve got a lot of things to do

Her majesty’s a throwaway song just short of a chorus or two

Oh yeah, short of a chorus or two



A world of corgies and inbreeding

The royal corpse is barely breathing



Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl with a circus for a family

Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she’s stuck with the royal We

I’d like to show her around the center of town but I haven’t got a carpet for

her feet

Her majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she’s pretty much obsolete

Oh yeah, she’s pretty much obsolete
