Long Live the Queen
long live the queen
her robe so long indeed
it took a long time to make
your highness my queen
how high her seat only
the high minded can fit
her majesty my queen
my cap fell off my head in prostration
oh i didn't mean to be funny
please my queen
my knees wear out my trousers
i only beg for my right
how beautiful the queen is
could it be mockery?
even if, you cant tell her to her face
it's worse than treachery
my queen wears a diamond
she may know the price but not the value
i can bet it true
she had never dug the mines
i love my queen
don't misunderstand me, i meant just love
you know what i mean.
