We are the Roundheads, we don't want kings no more
That's why we started the English Civil War
People say we're no fun, but we disagree
Especially when explaining, parliamentary democracy
We are particularly excited by the notions of jurisprudence...

That's enough dullness, we're the Cavalier crew
Supporting King Charles, and everything that he'll do
Puritans bore us, it's really a crime
When your parliamentary business cuts our partying time

Roundheads, soundheads, keep the music down heads
Rules and regulations led, dull but fair
Cavaliers three cheers, wackier headgears
We live to boogie with our peers. Unfair? Don't care!

I am the king, I can do what I like
Start up a war, or a big tax hike
Got a French wife, she's a Catholic

O law!
But really, King Charles, we're not quite sure!

Insolence! Is that how you talk to the Crown?
I am the King, I'll just close Parliament down
