Kings and queens, the world has so many
Since Victorian days of spend a penny
Some think royals are too many
Some poor countries don't have any
Many grand kings lie in state
Henry, numbers one to eight
Charles the first
Who met his fate
Charles the second had to wait
Jolly and not second rate
Now we're on to Charles the third
Kings always get first and last words
George the fifth in the first world war
George the sixth, and a few more
George spoke on the radio
Edward, and Mrs chose to go
While some supported wife one, Diana
Now we've no choice, it's wife two, Camilla
Now Charles the third's coronation celebration
Makes the UK a united nation
Some kids cause a moment's worry
Happy Harry, what's the hurry?
Our widowed queen Elizabeth was very fond
Of those who left, thought it was right, to cross the pond
Will and Kate will have to wait
But smile as part of the royal plate
Walk demurely through life's gate
One day such a day will be your date
Warm up onlookers who once were cold
Time for Charles, who's getting old
To ride in a carriage covered in gold
What a grand sight to behold.
Serious people stop to pray
Time to stop work, time to play
Pay for Charles chocolates, buy union jack hats
Time to wave, have a joyful day.
Tourists travel from far away
Some camped in tents overnight
Watch rehearsals with delight
Thousands march to make it right
Union Jack dress! What shall I wear?
Even online, photos to share
Eat egg tart, royal fare, if you care and dare
One day, I'll gladly say, I was there!

George V spoke on the radio for the first time in 1932.
