The Lyrics
I'm Henry VIII I am
Henry VIII I am, I am
I first married brother's widow Ar'gon
Close affinity did Pope condone
She bore me not male prodigy (rogered she)
So swapped her (and the Church) for a Boleyn (no sin!)
I disposed of Anne for 'treasony'
Headedly erased, my Anne
Reckoned worse, breeder than first...
I'm Henry VIII I am
Henry VIII I am, I am
I next married litle Janey Seymour
Now she's buried, but my son she bore
Expous-ed Anne from that Clevery (needlessly)
She couldn've been more chilling, I said "Damn (no clam)"
I annulled un-ion so speedily
Cromwelly dear paid for plan
I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
Fifth I married to a virgin. (That whore!
Soon discovered several swains before)
So Kat my rose was beheadedly (readily!)
So next you find me shooting under Parr (last spar!)
I'm the third old man for Kate-ily
Henry o'erweight now am
H-E-V3I's
Henry (Ornery)
Henry (Hornery)
Henry VIII I am, I am
Henry VIII I am
Henry VIII I am, I am
I first married brother's widow Ar'gon
Close affinity did Pope condone
She bore me not male prodigy (rogered she)
So swapped her (and the Church) for a Boleyn (no sin!)
I disposed of Anne for 'treasony'
Headedly erased, my Anne
Reckoned worse, breeder than first...
I'm Henry VIII I am
Henry VIII I am, I am
I next married litle Janey Seymour
Now she's buried, but my son she bore
Expous-ed Anne from that Clevery (needlessly)
She couldn've been more chilling, I said "Damn (no clam)"
I annulled un-ion so speedily
Cromwelly dear paid for plan
I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
Fifth I married to a virgin. (That whore!
Soon discovered several swains before)
So Kat my rose was beheadedly (readily!)
So next you find me shooting under Parr (last spar!)
I'm the third old man for Kate-ily
Henry o'erweight now am
H-E-V3I's
Henry (Ornery)
Henry (Hornery)
Henry VIII I am, I am
Henry VIII I am

Nice bit of history with your parody.: ) 5's
RFLMAO, TMGLTM, a few: (rogered she)"... "for a Boleyn (no sin!)" "Headedly erased" LOL!!! "Reckoned worse, breeder than first."... Better stop before reprinting entire parody... OK, one last one... "Damn (no clam)".... Any of this series would be useful to a history Tudor, but the humor in this one Towers above, and that's neither Pap nor Bull. Henry VIII = V, III times.
love it....surprised no one had thought of this concept before
I also like how you got the history into the os.
You're havin' ya some fives, you are.
I'm Hankerin' to give you fives
Thanks everyone!
Alvin, I was surprised (relievedly so) also! ;-)

I'm surprised that this hasn't been done before, but knowing that I'm not surprised that the hobbits did this. Well done, as usual, even if there is some slight 'postrophe abuse.
Ethan, you should see what I do with 'postrophes in the privacy of my own home...
wow, a parody about Henry VIII to Henry VIII - congrats for the great idea M and P, although I would have preferred the line "She bore me not males, dutifully (rooted she)" - LOL - 555
Another piece of mastery !
A lot of fun wordplay. I, too, like shooting under Parr.
I'm also surprised no one thought of this before, especially since I did! Well, sort of: It was called "Three Henrys" (unfortunately, the computer I'm on now won't let me send the link to it), and not only that, Merry, you said you liked it! You too, Alvin! On the other hand, this is, as far as I know, the only one just about the Eighth, and if I could give it an 8, I would. Alas and alack, King Charles of the House of Worcester doth not allow it, so thou must settle for 5.
A very good way to learn about history we are trying to forget. I bounced along to it to (as most of the heads did). Nice work historians
Oh my gosh! A true parody! Wonderfully done. Great work, M&P!
Used to have a Herman's Hermits 8 Track Tape with the song
