God lets not save the queen

 

I’m a republican ‘out with the queen.’

It’s about time we grew up and got ourselves weaned.

 

What relevance has she now got!?

sitting ten thousand miles away in her ten thousand acre plot.

 

Sitting in her Balmoral castle

thinking of us no doubt, "now who’s the dirty rascal."

 

I say it’s about time she got off her thrown and got another job,

at least we don’t want her ruling ‘us mob.’

 

Were a proud and free people and a, ‘throw another scrimp on the Barbie’ kind of race.

The queen’s not our ‘sort of girl’ I lesson to haste.

 

So I reckon it’s about time we went it alone

and got rid of her and! the monarchy thrown!!!

 

We’d be better off with out her, so let’s give her the flick.

Two hundred year of British rule! well that’s enough to make any one sick..

 

“God save Australia” I say, that’s what we ought to sing.

Down with the queen and down with Charles as well,

(who no doubt if given a chance) would be our next future king.

 

“So come on comrade, sing along with me!!!”

 

Out rule Britannia, Britannia bye bye we wave.

We will never never never be ruled by her again.
