Dave Cohen - George IV: Couldn't Stand My Wife lyrics

[George IV] I'm George IV, the regent king Which means I was just standing in Acting king because my dad George III had gone barking mad [George III] Banana! [George IV] Great palaces I did design Buckingham was one of mine Art and fashion, I so rated [George III] And wives? [George IV] That's more complicated [Chorus] Actresses and duchesses The great loves of my life I loved more girls than I ate pies But I couldn't stand my wife (He couldn't stand his wife) Go away! [George IV] I only married Queen Caroline When my debts began to climb 'Cause if I agreed to tie the knot [George III] I said I'd pay off the lot [George IV] But the wedding caused all sorts of strife Cause I already had a wife [George III] A divorced Catholic? [George IV] Dad did sigh But the mad old goat just wouldn't die [George III] Still here Oh, spoke too soon! [George IV] At last, I can go solo! As true king, my reign began Though I was now older than your nan And as the ruler of our nation I banned my wife from my coronation And knowing now that I did hate her She promptly died just three weeks later But all those pies that I got through Meant ten years later, I died too [George III] Hello, have we met? I'm a kangaroo! [Chorus] Actresses, duchesses The great loves of my life I loved more girls than I ate pies But I couldn't stand my wife [Outro] I had just ten years on the throne Do you remember that? No, all that you remember is... I was really fat
