Good king wenceslas was not
Like the carol you sing
Didn't help peasants - that's rot!
Was a duke not a king
He didn't collect firewood
Nor trudge through the cold snow
Though that story is quite good
The thruth we think you should know
Born in 907 ad
He came from bohemia
And spread christianity
To people near and far
But what happened to the duke?
Not nice to discover
This next bit may make you puke
Murdered by his brother!
Ha! Ha!
