Lyrics:

They smiled so much and waved their flagsAs she saluted to the military bandMost of the people failed to seeShe had a broken bottle in the other handAnd she took them by surpriseWhen she took them by the throatAnd said ''My friend you''re not allowed to vote''But they shook it all offWith a nervous laugh and cough''Next time,'' she said ''I''ll let those people choke''The people who grinned themselves to deathSmiled so much they failed to take a breathAnd even when their kids were starvingThey all thought the queen was charmingShe polished all upon the wallAnd ran her hands right through her hairSo if the lady took the time to callAll the houses on the street would not compareAnd she thought it really funnyThat she hadn''t any moneyBut those she looked up to, they hadBut they shook it all offWith a nervous laugh and coughAnd when they took her riches it was sadThe people who grinned themselves to deathSmiled so much they failed to take a breathAnd even when their kids were starvingThey all thought the queen was charming
