We know you know our names and our fame and our faces
[Anna of Cleves]
Know all about the glories and the disgraces
[Katherine Howard]
I’m done ‘cause all this time
I’ve been just one word in a stupid rhyme

Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
[Catherine of Aragon]
All you ever hear and read about
[Anne Boleyn]
Is our ex and the way it ended
[Jane Seymour]
But a pair doesn’t beat a royal flush
[Anna of Cleves]
You’re gonna find out how we got unfriended
[Katherine Howard]
Tonight we’re gonna do ourselves justice
‘Cause we’re taking you to court
[Cathryn Parr]
Every Tudor rose has its thorns
And you’re gonna hear ‘em live in consort

[Catherine of Aragon]
My name’s Catherine Of Aragon
Was married 24 years, I’m a paragon
Of royalty, my loyalty is to the Vatican
So if you try to dump me
You won’t try that again
[Queens]
Beheaded
[Anne Boleyn]
I’m that Boleyn girl
And I’m up next
See, I broke England from the Church
Yeah, I’m that sexy
Why did I lose my head?
Well, my sleeves may be green
But my lipstick’s red
[Queens]
Died
[Jane Seymour]
Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved
[Queens]
Rude
[Jane Seymour]
When my son was newly born, I died
But I’m not what I seem
Or am I?
Stick around, and you’ll suddenly see more
[Queens]
Divorced
[Anna of Cleves]
Ich bin Anna of Cleves
[Queens]
Ja
[Anna of Cleves]
When he saw my portrait he was like
[Queens]
Ja
[Anna of Cleves]
But I didn’t look as good as I did in my pic
Funny how we all discuss that, but never Henry’s little-
[Katherine Howard]
Prick up your ears, I’m the Katherine who lost her head
[Queens]
Beheaded
[Katherine Howard]
For my promiscuity outside of wed
Lock up your husbands, lock up your sons
K Howard is here, and the fun’s begun
[Queens]
Survived
[Cathryn Parr]
Five down, I’m the final wife
I saw him to the end of his life
I’m the survivor, Cathryn Parr
I bet you wanna know how I got this far
I said, I bet you wanna know how I got this far
[Queens]
Do you wanna know how we got this far?
Then!
[Queens]
Welcome to the show, to the histo-remix
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
[Queens]
Get your hands up, get this party buzzing
You want a queen bee, well there’s half a dozen
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
But now we’re ex-wives
[Queens]
One, two, three, four, five
SIX
No way
[Queens]
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
[Catherine of Aragon]
There’s no way
[Catherine of Aragon]
You must think that I’m crazy
You wanna replace me, baby there’s
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
[Catherine of Aragon]
So you read a bible verse that I’m cursed
‘Cause I was your brother’s wife
You say it’s a pity ‘cause quoting Leviticus
“I’ll end up kidiless all my life”
[Catherine of Aragon]
You’re just so full of sh-, must think that I’m naïve (whoa, whoa)
I won’t back down won’t shh, and no, I’ll never leave
[Catherine of Aragon]
You must think that I’m crazy
You wanna replace me, baby, there’s
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
[Catherine of Aragon]
Hey
Let’s go
Here we go
[Catherine of Aragon]
You got me down on my knees
Please tell me what you think I’ve done wrong
Been humble, been loyal, I’ve tried to swallow my pride all along
If you can just explain a single thing
I’ve done to cause you pain, I’ll go
[Catherine of Aragon]
No?
[Catherine of Aragon]
You must think that I’m crazy
You wanna replace me? Baby, there’s
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
There’s
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no way
There’s no way
[Anne Boleyn]
He wanted me, huh, obviously
Messaging me like everyday
Couldn’t be better, then he sent me a letter and who am I kidding
I was prêt-à-manger
(Uh-oh!)
Here we go
(You sent him kisses)
I didn’t know I would move in with his misses
(What?)
Get a life
(You’re living with his wife?)
[Anne Boleyn]
Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said
I’m just tryna have some fun
Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t lose your head
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone
LOL, say oh well
Or go to hell
[Anne Boleyn]
I’m sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said
Don’t lose your head
(Uh-oh!)
Here we go
(Your comment went viral)
I didn’t really mean it but rumours spiral
(Wow Anne, way to make the country hate you)
Mate, what was I meant to do?
[Anne Boleyn]
Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said
I’m just tryna have some fun
Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t lose your head
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone
[Anne Boleyn]
I’m sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said
Don’t lose your head
He got a promotion
Caused a commotion
Set in motion (the C of E)
Soon, [ex-communicated]
Everybody chill, its totes God’s will
[Anne Boleyn]
Henry’s out every night on the town
Just “sleeping around”, like what the hell!?
[Queens]
You damned witch
[Anne Boleyn]
Mate, just shut up
I wouldn’t be such a b-
If you could get it up
[Anne Boleyn]
Sorry, not sorry ‘bout what I said
I’m just tryna have some fun
Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t lose your head
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone
[Anne Boleyn]
Don’t lose your head
Heart of stone
[Jane Seymour]
You’ve got a good heart
But I know it changes
A restless tide, untamable
[Jane Seymour]
You came my way, and I knew a storm could come too
You’d lift me high, or let me fall
[Jane Seymour]
But I took your hand, promised I’d withstand
Any blaze you blew my way
‘Cause something inside, it solidified
And I knew I’d always stay
[Jane Seymour]
You can build me up, you can tear me down
You can try but I’m unbreakable
You can do your best, but I’ll stand the test
You’ll find that I’m unshakeable
[Jane Seymour]
And when I say you’re the only one I’ve ever loved
I mean those words truthfully
[Jane Seymour]
Without my son your love could disappear
I know it isn’t fair, but I don’t care
‘Cause my love, will still be here
[Jane Seymour]
You can build me up, you can tear me down
You can try but I’m unbreakable
You can do your best, but I’ll stand the test
You’ll find that I’m unshakeable
[Jane Seymour]
Soon I’ll have to go
I’ll never see him grow
But I hope my son will know
He’ll never be alone
[Jane Seymour]
My heart of
Stone (Stone)
Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Stone (Stone)
Can’t break me
Can’t break me
Stone (Stone)
Can’t break me
You’ll still find stone
[Jane Seymour]
My heart of stone

Get down
[Anna of Cleves]
Sittin’ here all alone
On a throne
In a palace that I happen to own
Bring me some pheasant
Keep it on the bone
[Anna of Cleves]
Everyday
Head back for a round of croquet, yeah
‘Cause I’m a player
And tomorrow, I’ll hit replay
[Anna of Cleves]
You, you said that I tricked ya (tricked ya}
‘Cause I, I didn’t look like my profile picture
Too, too bad I don’t agree
Get down
Get down you dirty rascal
Get down
(Sigh)
Get down
‘Cause I’m the queen of the castle
[Anna of Cleves]
When I get bored
I go to court
Pull up outside in my carriage
Don’t got no marriage
So I have a little flirt with the footman
As he takes my fur (huh!)
As you were
All eyes on me
No criticism
I look more rad than Lutheranism
Dance so hard that I’m causin’ a sensation
[Anna of Cleves]
Okay ladies, let’s get in reformation
[Anna of Cleves]
No one tells me I need a rich man
Doin’ my thing in my palace in Richmond
[Katherine Howard]
I was young it’s true but even then I knew
The only thing you wanna to do is... *Mwah* *sigh*
[Katherine Howard]
Broad, dark, sexy Mannox
Taught me all about dynamics
He was 23
And I was 13 going on 30
[Katherine Howard]
Tell me what you need
What you want, you don’t need to plead
‘Cause I feel the chemistry
Like I get you and you get me
[Katherine Howard]
‘Cause all you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, love me, can’t get enough, see
[Katherine Howard]
But then there was another guy
Francis Dereham
[Katherine Howard]
Serious, stern and slow
Gets what he wants, and he won’t take no
Passion in all that he touches
The sexy secretary to the Dowager Duchess
[Katherine Howard]
You say I’m what you need
All you want, you don’t need to plead
‘Cause I feel the chemistry
Like I get you and you get me
[Katherine Howard]
‘Cause all you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, love me, can’t get enough see
All you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Is please me, squeeze me, birds and the bees me
[Katherine Howard]
You can’t wait a second more to get
My corset on the floor
Playtime’s over
The only thing you wanna do is… *mwah* *sigh%*
[Katherine Howard]
Yeah, that didn’t work out
So I decided to have a break from boys
And you’ll never guess who I met
[Katherine Howard]
Tall, large, Henry the Eighth
Supreme head of the Church of England
…
Globally revered
Although you wouldn’t know it from the look of that beard
[Katherine Howard]
You say I’m what you need
All you want, we both agree
This is the place for me
I’m finally where I’m meant to be
[Katherine Howard]
‘Cause all you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, love me, can’t get enough, see
[Katherine Howard]
There’s no time for when or how ‘cause you
Just got to have me now
Playtime’s over
The only thing you wanna do is… *mwah* *sigh*
[Katherine
So we got married…
…Woo..?
[Katherine Howard]
With Henry, it isn’t easy
His temper’s short, and his mates are sleazy
Except for this one courtier
He’s a really nice guy, just so sincere
[Katherine Howard]
This guy finally
Is what I want, the friend I need
Just mates, no chemistry
I get him and he gets me
[Katherine Howard]
……?
[Katherine Howard]
I thought this time was different
Why did I think he’d be different?
But it’s never
Ever
Different
‘Cause all you wanna do
All you wanna do, baby
Is touch me, when will enough
Be enough?!
See
[Katherine Howard]
Bite my lip and pull my hair
As you tell me, I’m the fairest of the fair
[Katherine Howard]
The only thing
The only thing
The only thing you wanna do is… *mwah* *sigh*
[Cathryn Parr]
You know I love you, boy
In every single way
Though I love you, boy
I’ll miss you every day
[Cathryn Parr]
And even though this feels so right
I’m holding back the tears tonight
[Cathryn Parr]
And now the hope is gone
There’s nothing left for me to do
You know it isn’t true
But I must say to you
[Cathryn Parr]
That I don’t need your love, no, no
I don’t need your love, no, no
It’ll never be better than it was, no, no
But I don’t need your love, no, no
[Cathryn Parr]
I’ve got no choice
With the King I stay alive
Never had a choice
Been a wife twice before, just to survive
[Cathryn Parr]
But if, somehow, I had that choice
No holding back, I’d raise my voice
[Cathryn Parr]
I’d say “Henry, yeah it’s true
I’ll never belong to you
‘Cause I am not your toy, to enjoy ‘til there’s something new
As if I’m gonna give up my boy, my work, my dreams to care for you
[Cathryn Parr]
Ha! Darling, get a clue
There’s nothing you can do
I don’t need your love, no, no
No, I don’t need you love, no, no
There’s nothing left to discuss, no, no
‘Cause I don’t need your love, no, no”
[Cathryn Parr]
But I can’t say that…
Not to the king
So this is goodbye
All my love
Cathryn.
[Cathryn Parr]
So I sent that letter to my love
Got married to the king
Became the one who survived
[Cathryn Parr]
That’s not my story
There’s so much more
[Cathryn Parr]
We all…
Disappear
[Catherine of Aragon]
So we had no choice
[Anne Boleyn]
But now it’s us alone
[Jane Seymour]
So we’ve got no choice
[Anna of Cleves]
No, we’ve got no choice
[Katherine Howard]
We’re taking back the microphone
[Cathryn Parr]
I’m gonna raise my voice
[Queens]
They always said
“We need your love”
But it’s time for us to rise abo-o-o-o-ve!
[Queens]
It’s not what went down in history (his story)
But tonight I’m singing thi-i-i-i-s for me (eeh)
[Cathryn Parr]
We don’t need your love!
SIX
[Catherine of Aragon]
He got down on one knee
But I said: No way!
Packed my bags
And moved into a
Nu-nu-nunnery!
[Anne Boleyn]
Henry sent me a poem
All about my green sleeves
I changed a couple words
Put it on a sick beat
[Jane Seymour]
Since my first son
Our family’s grown
We made a band
And got quite well known
[Queens]
We’re one (one) of a kind
No category
[Queens]
Too (two) many years
Lost in history (his story)
[Queens]
We’re free (three) to take
Our crowning glory
[Queens]
For (four) five (five) more minutes
We’re six!
[Anna of Cleves]
What a shame
Yeah, my face
It cost me the crown
So I moved to the
[Queens]
Haus of holbein!
[Anna of Cleves]
In my hometown
His mates were super arty
But I showed them how to party
Now on my tour of prussia
Everybody: Gets down
[Katherine Howard]
Music man tried it on
And I was like: Bye!
So I thought: Who needs him?
I can give it a try
I learned everything
Now all I do is sing
And I’ll do that until I die
[Cathryn Parr]
Heard all about these rockin’ chicks
Loved every song
And each remix
[Queens]
Aww!
[Queens]
We’re one of a kind
No category
[Queens]
Too many years
Lost in his story (history)
[Queens]
We’re free to take
Our crowning glory
[Queens]
For five more minutes
We’re six!
Woah, woah
We’re six!
Woooah, we’re six
Woah, woah
For five more minutes
[Queens]
It’s the end of the show
Of the historemix
We switched up the flow
And we changed the prefix
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
[Queens]
But now we’re one of a kind
No category
[Queens]
Too many years
Lost in history (his story)
[Queens]
We’re free to take
Our crowning glory
[Queens]
For five more minutes
[Queens]
We’re one of a kind
No category
[Queens]
Too many years
Lost in history (his story)
[Queens]
We’re free to take
Our crowning glory
[Queens]
For five more minutes
We’re six!

Two, one more minute
[Queens]
We’re six!
The megaSIX
[Queens]
Are you ready?!
[Queens]
Here we go
Here we go!
[Catherine of Aragon]
You must think that I’m crazy
You wanna replace me
Baby, there’s n-n-n-n-n-n-no way
If you thought you could leave me
You must think I’m naïve
Believe me there’s
[Anne Boleyn]
Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t lose your head!
I didn’t mean to hurt anyone
[Anne Boleyn]
You can L-O-L
You can say “oh well!”
[Katherine Howard]
All you wanna do, all you wanna do baby
Is sing along to your favourite queen’s song!
[Cathryn Parr]
No, no
I don’t need your love, no, no
It’s time to rise above! Woah, oh
[Queens]
We don’t need your love!
‘Cause we’re so much more than
[Catherine of Aragon]
Divorced!
