Blue Blooded Blues

I bet you think the Stuarts were an English dynasty
But we only came to England when the crown belonged to me
Our clan may hail from Scotland
But our tales are not a bonnie one, you'll see
We got the blue blooded blues
In our blue Stuart shoes
Each king queen and heir
Had there own personal nightmare
Have you heard the news?
We got the blue blooded blues
Let's start with me, King Robert III
Some say I was a fool
Once fell off my horse and hurt my self
Quite badly, how un-cool
Ended up with a limp
And limp was what they called my rule
(And I tell you for why)
We got the blue blooded blues
Strapping sons, he had two
One in prison, starved in jail
The other captured, epic fail
The worst kings, my review
I got the blue bloody blues
The next 5 kings all called James
But none was lucky Jim
James I hid down a sewer
Got caught by assassins
James II was less unpopular
But killed by his own cannon so, pretty dim
(And it doesn't end there, you're not wrong)
We got the blue blooded blues
So many ways to lose
3 and 4 killed in battle
5 lost at war and that'll
Explain why we got confused
About the Stuarts clan blues
(Sing it Mary go on girl)
I'm Mary queen of Scots
Misfortune I had lots
To Queen Liz was a threat
She threw me into prison yeah
Still accused me of plotin'
Can you seewhere I'm heading?
Liz is a Tudor, take a guess
Beheaded? Yeah
After queen Liz died
I was made King of England too
Became James the first in England
But the Stuart luck stayed true
Guy Fawkes try to blow me up
And turn me into stuart stew
(One more time! Yeah)
We got the blue blooded blues
Not the role I would choose
With my son Charles a decapity
We briefly killed off royalty
Stuart mourners it's true
'Cause we're the blue blooded blues
(That's what I'm talking about)
