Summary: Parody Song about what pretty much every sensible female in the court is thinking when Henry is looking for a wife.
One of Your Wives
(To the tune of "Part of Your World)
Look at my fate, isn't it bleak,
Despite my nature, so quiet and meek,
Don't you just think I'm the girl,
Who can give you everything
Look at my clothes, bright jewels untold
How many rubies can one headress hold?
I like all of the things you enjoy,
But... Could I bear a boy?
I've got family, looks, estates aplenty,
Intrigues and admirers galore,
Political connections? I've got twenty!
But who cares? That won't make the deal.
You want more.
You want a son, a royal heir.
A healthy young boy,
to rule there beside you,
Wives who failed ended up... Oh, what's the word?
Dead!
Bearing a girl you don't get to far
Catherine divorced, Anne was beheaded
Even Jane Seymour died and, well
I like my head!
Where can I hide, where can I run
To avoid being you next honey-bun?
Oh, King Henry, I don't wanna be,
One of your wives.
A mistress I'll be, but not a wife,
In case I have daughters,
Some fun in bed, and keep my head,
When you get bored,
Not labelled a whore, perhaps a horse,
Cause you won't love me always.
Bright young women, fond of living,
Can't get too far away
They know that your Queens don't always last,
Anna divorced, young Katherine cheated,
Catherine Parr lived because you
What's the word?
Died
You courted, I cried.
I don't want your love,
It leads to God's Kingdom up above,
Oh King Henry, I don't wanna be,
One of your wives.
