Oh No! It’s The Plantagenets

My name is Richard and I do not want to die
Henceforth I’ll add another name
Of flowers pure and gold in the speckled azure sky
And I shall live another day

Ignore the Tudors and the Normans and the Yorks
That isn’t me and don’t forget it
Was I from Windsor or the House of Scottish lords
Oh no! It’s the Plantegenets

Became an orphan when I was four years young
The richest one you’ve ever known
When my engagement to Ralph’s daughter had begun
I gained a claim upon the throne

Ignore the Tudors and the Normans and the Yorks
That isn’t me and don’t forget it
Was I from Windsor or the House of Scottish lords
Oh no! It’s the Plantegenets
