The Ghost of Anne Boleyn

about

A Halloween show with some friends lead to me creating this "Andrew Sisters-eque" macabre-de-force.

lyrics

In the tower of London, large as life,
the ghost of Anne Boleyn walks they declare.
Poor Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife
until he made the headsman bob her hair.
Ah, yes, he did her wrong long years ago
and she comes up at night to tell him so,

With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower,
With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.

She comes to haunt King Henry. She means giving him what for.
Gadzooks, she's going to tell him off for having spilled her gore,
And just in case the headsman wants to give her an encore,
she has her head tucked underneath her arm.

With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower,
With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.

Along the drafty corridors for miles and miles she goes
She often catches cold poor thing its cold there when it blows
its awfully awkward for the queen to have to blow her nose
With her head tucked underneath her arm.

With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower,
With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.

One night she caught King Henry, he was at the castle bar.
Said he, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, or Katherine Parr?
How the sweet Saint Maryann - do I know who you are
with your head tucked underneath your arm?"
