《Oliver Cromwell(Explicit)》歌词

[00:00:00] Oliver Cromwell (Monty Python Sings) - Monty Python

[00:00:37] The most interesting thing about King

[00:00:39] Charles I is that he was 5'6'' tall

[00:00:44] At the start of his reign

[00:00:46] But only 4'8'' tall at the end of it because of

[00:00:52] Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England

[00:00:57] Puritan

[00:00:57] Born in 1599 and died in 1658

[00:01:02] September

[00:01:04] Was at first

[00:01:06] Only

[00:01:06] MP for Huntington

[00:01:08] But then

[00:01:09] He left the Ironside Cavalry

[00:01:12] At Marston Moor in 1644 and won

[00:01:16] Then he founded the new model army

[00:01:19] And praise be beat the Cavaliers at Naisby

[00:01:25] And the King fled up North

[00:01:27] Like a bat to the Scots

[00:01:32] But under the terms of

[00:01:33] John Pimm's solomn league and covenant

[00:01:35] The Scots handed King Charles I over to

[00:01:38] Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England

[00:01:43] And his warts

[00:01:44] Born in 1599 and died in 1658

[00:01:49] September

[00:01:50] But alas

[00:01:52] Oy vey

[00:01:53] Disagreement then broke out

[00:01:54] Between

[00:01:55] The Presbyterian Parliament

[00:01:57] And the Military who meant

[00:01:59] To have an independent bent

[00:02:01] And so

[00:02:02] The second Civil War broke out

[00:02:06] And the Roundhead ranks

[00:02:07] Faced the Cavaliers at

[00:02:09] Preston banks

[00:02:11] And the King lost again silly thing

[00:02:14] Stupid git

[00:02:18] And Cromwell sent Colonel Pride

[00:02:20] To purge the House of Commons of

[00:02:22] The Presbyterian Royalists leaving

[00:02:23] Behind only the rump Parliament

[00:02:26] Which appointed a High Court at

[00:02:29] Westminster Hall

[00:02:30] To indict Charles I for tyranny

[00:02:36] OOOHHH

[00:02:38] Charles was sentenced to death

[00:02:41] Even though he refused to accept

[00:02:44] That the court had jurisdiction

[00:02:48] Say goodbye to head head

[00:02:52] Poor King Charles laid his head on the block

[00:03:01] January 1649

[00:03:04] Down came the axe and

[00:03:09] In the silence that followed

[00:03:11] The only sound that could

[00:03:12] Be heard was a solitary giggle from

[00:03:16] Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England

[00:03:20] Olé

[00:03:21] Born in 1599 and died in 1658

[00:03:26] September

[00:03:28] Then he smashed

[00:03:29] Ireland

[00:03:30] Set up the Commonwealth

[00:03:32] And more

[00:03:33] He crushed the Scots at Worcester

[00:03:35] And beat the Dutch at sea

[00:03:37] In 1653 and then

[00:03:41] He dissolved the rump Parliament

[00:03:45] And with Lambert's consent

[00:03:47] Wrote the instrument of

[00:03:50] Government

[00:03:51] Under which Oliver was Protector

[00:03:53] At last

[00:03:55] The end
