Lyrics:
So our teacher said it was impossible to make all the connections between the monarchs
I see that as a challenge
O.k. so Ferdinand and Isabella were the ones that started, started
The fam'ly tree of monarchy, these people were not faint hearted
King Charles the fifth was their son and because he was so bighearted
Split the empire to Phillip and Ferdinand which then kickstarted,
Ferdinand's relative marrying Henry the Eighth and having
Three daughters, who were good at sharing, not really I'm just kidding
Mary I, wife of Phillip who was mentioned in the beginning,
Was the first to rule and slaughtered 300 people for sinning
But Mary I died quickly after only five years of ruling
It's a good thing cause I don't know when she would have stopped the killing
Queen Elizabeth The First followed Mary and refused to use
Religious Uniformity against Christians Protestants or Jews,
They all reached for absolute power, to try and perfect, the monarchy
Absolutism was the intent, and even though it was tough, they said just wait and see
Just wait and see, just wait and see, just wait and see
For absolute monarchy
Just wait and see, just wait and see, just wait and see
For the perfect monarchy
So time to talk 'bout, five things that you can't go without,
Its what everyone needs, for the perfect monarchy
First subjugate the nobility, make sure your Bureaucracy is strong
Any questions? You were chosen by God.
Its good to have a Large freestanding army,
Also don't forget about Religious Uniformity
Make sure that you raise those taxes
And make sure that you're relaxin
But don't let anyone see because
Now you are the king of e-vry-thing
K, so back to the fam'ly tree, we've had Queen E and Mary
But now we're on to Mary of Scots, she,
Wasn't daughter of Henry, she
Was the only living daughter of King Charles actually, So
They all reached for absolute power, to try and perfect, the monarchy
Absolutism was the intent, and even though it was tough, they said just wait and see
Just wait and see, just wait and see, just wait and see
For absolute monarchy
Just wait and see, just wait and see, just wait and see
For the perfect monarchy
Now we are running out of time
To tell you 'bout the kings and queens in a rhyme
To start Mary Queen of Scotts very quickly died
But she also married one of the three Medici Pride
Francis Charles and Henry were Kings of their time
But they also had a sister who married out of line
Married Henry of Navarre, then as the three brothers died
Became Henry the IV, but was a "Huguenot Swine"
So he converts
Christian now,
he imposed,
Edict of,
Nantes so,
there would be,
no more wars,
about things,
mostly bout
religion
but after
Henry came
Louis 8
And his son
Showed the world
How to rule
Perfectly
Monarchy
Hadn't seen
Anything
Like this king
Hated nobles
loved war
what he had in store
Put his country to the test you couldn't stop him at his best cause he was better than the rest but im'ma stop, I'm out of breath
Here comes the Sun King baby
He's Louis 14 daily
Ruling at 4, oh maybe
But you gotta wait and see
Oh man he has got the key
To Absolute monarchy
Subjugate nobility
Keep 'em where the eye can see
He said L'etat C'est Moi
People would stare in awe
No checks or balances cause
He's the only one in charge
Made France a Super Power
Now he's all over our
Textbooks showing us the way the monarchs would have ruled today
They all reached for absolute power, to try and perfect, the monarchy
Absolutism was the intent, and even though it was tough, they said just wait and see
Just wait and see, just wait and see, just wait and see
For absolute monarchy
Just wait and see, just wait and see, just wait and see
For the perfect monarchy
