Tekst piosenki:
[ALL]
We're the cousins
Who ruled over dozens
[KING GEORGE V]
King George
[TSAR NICHOLAS II]
Tsar Nick
[KAISER WILHELM II]
Kaiser Billy
[ALL]
When the century started
We could hardly be parted
But that was all before
The frightful First World War
[KING GEORGE V]
I'm King George
And when young I forged
An alliance with these two
Through Queen Vic we were related
Check out the world power she created
[TSAR NICHOLAS II]
I'm Tsar Nicholas
With George mischievous
Swapped uniforms at posh do's
We looked like twins, had matching beards
Right royal family, if a little weird
[KING GEORGE V]
Drove advisors round the bend
[GEORGE V & NICHOLAS II]
Till all that friendship had to end
[ALL]
We're relations
Crowned by our nations
[KING GEORGE V]
Great Britain
[TSAR NICHOLAS II]
Russia
[KAISER WILHELM II]
and Germany
[ALL]
When our governments fell out
Peaceful relations put in doubt
Conditions perfect for
The frightful First World War
[KAISER WILHELM II]
I'm Kaiser Wilhelm
I kind of felt a bit
Left out by the rest
They had beards, I only had a moustache
Feared my withered arm gave me less panache
I loved the military
Thought at diplomacy
I would be the best
[GEORGE V & NICHOLAS II]
We sent telegrams, hoped to stop the bombs
But they weren't worth the paper they were written on
[KAISER WILHELM II]
I called England mad March hares
[KING GEORGE V]
You didn't help avert war there
[ALL]
Now all leaders
That all succeed us
[KING GEORGE V]
Great Britain
[TSAR NICHOLAS II]
Russia
[KAISER WILHELM II]
Both against me
I was in charge of German troops
[GEORGE V & NICHOLAS II]
But you proved to be hopeless, oops
[KAISER WILHELM II]
The commanders they ignored
In the frightful First World War
[KING GEORGE V]
My family ties embarrassing, our kinship now a hassle
I changed my German surname to Windsor like the castle
Then Russian Revolution came
Nick said
[TSAR NICHOLAS II]
"Help me, mate!"
[KING GEORGE V]
I couldn't support him
Had to leave him to his fate
[TSAR NICHOLAS II]
Execution!
Oh
[ALL]
And then the war was no more
[KING GEORGE V]
We won!
[KAISER WILHELM II]
We lost
[TSAR NICHOLAS II]
Call it a score draw
[KING GEORGE V]
I was the only one left in charge
[KAISER WILHELM II]
I ran away but still at large
[ALL]
And all this frightful war could do
Was set up World War Two
[GEORGE V & NICHOLAS II]
Which was us against you
[ALL]
Boo boo be doo!
