LYRICS
This is it
Time for you to take on the crown now
Will it fit?
Don’t give us that little girl frown now
It’s your time
You got the throne so why don’t you sit there?
You’re next in line
Edward put it in is will so it is fair!
Queen for nine days
Queen
Lady Jane Grey
Queen
You best do what they say
Queen for just nine days
You’re so young
Baby, you’re just barely fifteen
Northumberland
Planned it so his son could be king (what a scheme!)
You were wed
In a cruel political plot
The king was dead
So with Guildford Dudley you tied the knot
Yes you did
Queen for nine days
Queen
Lady Jane Grey
Queen
You best do what they say
Queen for just nine days
You’ve got brains
Reading classics in both Latin and Greek
Dressing plain
Let’s just call it “Protestant chic”
Your reign was short
Cousin Mary was upset with good reason
And at court
They ordered your beheading for treason
Queen for nine days
Queen
Lady Jane Grey
Queen
You best do what they say
Queen for just nine days
Queen
Queen
Queen
Just for 9 days
Queen
Queen
Lady Jane (spoken)
Queen
The shortest reign
Queen for just nine days
Nine days!
