Stuck On One Song

Oh, woe is me! Oh my! Oh my! I am going to be singing this song until I die, oh man! "I’m Henry the Eighth I am. Henry the Eighth I am I am!" I’d stop singing if I could; I am not even a fan…. This poem is stuck in my head forevermore. "I got married to the widow next door; she’s been married seven times before! I’d love to stop strumming and singing; it’s starting to be a bore! It is a song I used to kind of adore….. "Everyone was an ‘Enry, ENRY! Aint’ had a Willy or a Sam! Or a Sam! I’m the eighth I am, I’m ‘Enry, Enry the eighth I am I am ‘Enry the Eight I am I am." "Seventeenth verse, same as the first." Would singing another song be better or worse? I cannot believe this song is stuck in my head. I’ll be forced to sing it until I’m dead.

"Everyone was an'ENRY." Made me laugh, now I can't stop singing it! Really clever, Poem. Thank you, Caren.

I often start singing this song when I am stuck in traffic.

It is a song I do kind of adore; I was 12 when it came out I think.

Thank you Hank. It was a contest prompt on another site - I would have never thought of this on my own.
