Written to weird out my history teacher, this song is about Oliver Cromwell and the decapitation of King Charles I of England.

Now just add on a smooth jazz outro, while making fart noises in the background and congratulations, you've created a Mr. Bungle song.

Your head, Charles
I'm gonna need it
I wrote you a letter, Charles
You didn't read it?
You won't talk back, man
You best prepare for this
It's in the sack, man
You gonna be HEADLESS
No turnin' back now
No one will let ya
When you meet the devil, Charles
Tell 'em Cromwell sent ya
When you meet the devil, Charles
Tell 'em Cromwell sent ya
Well, Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses
and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again
D-D-D-DAMN YOU CROMWELL
(Lord Protector of the Realm)
DAMN YOU CROMWELL
(Lord Protector of the Realm)
DAMN YOU CROMWELL
(Lord Protector of the Realm)
DAMN YOU CROMWELL
LORD PROTECTOR OF THE REALM
AAAAHAAAAAGHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I've consulted the guys at the lab, and can reveal that Ogre Lawless is right.

I just want to say that its bitchin that this was on the "most playlisted" list yesterday and still holds the #1 spot for "most favorited" nearly four months after this song was submitted. Viva Music.MeFi! Vivi Buriednexttoyou! Viva Charles I!

We played this must have been four times last night and laughed our asses off the whole time.

DAMN YOU CROMWELLLLLLLLL!

Oh, so much better than Jello Biafra.

This song totally reminded me of all that I loved about 80's punk. Was your history teacher weirded out? (By the way, your song was linked to in, and inspired the title of, this FPP today)
