Chumbawamba (2000) Her Majesty

A Beatles cover, sort of. They added 3 verses and a couple of bridges to the song, revealing their dislike for Madge.

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a belly full of wine
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl someday I'm gonna make her mine
Oh yeah, someday I'm gonna make her mine

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she never does a thing for me
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she keeps the worst company
All the lords and the ladies in waiting all crawling in the dirt like swine
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but I hope she's the end of the line
Oh yeah, I hope she's the end of the line

Her majesty's living in a land of curtsies
A world of blue blood and Nazis, yeah

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but I think she ought to call it a day
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl without one good reason to stay
I'd like to take her for a whiskey or two, but I've got a lot of things to do
Her majesty's a throwaway song just short of a chorus or two
Oh yeah, short of a chorus or two

A world of corgies and inbreeding
The royal corpse is barely breathing

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl with a circus for a family
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she's stuck with the royal We
I'd like to show her around the center of town but I haven't got a carpet for
her feet
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl but she's pretty much obsolete
Oh yeah, she's pretty much obsolete

I swear I thought it was Paul when he was singing! Very nice

[peetrwilson]

The Beatles song as it should have been...

Good Job Chumba!!

[smitdog6767]

Great song but it sounds like a 2 minute long Macca impersonation, not that it's necessarily a bad thing

Drums aren't great, but this is actually really good.

[biiah23]

Oh my FUCKING god! THIS IS GENIOUS!

[Saternoc]

This might be not only the greatest Beatles cover song, but possibly greatest cover I've ever heard!

Just been on the news that there's 10,000 tickets up for grabs for the concert in front of the palace, featuring Elton, McCartney etc......but isn't there 10,000 homeless on the streets of London? Give 'em the tickets...then let them live in the olympic village, when all that cobblers is over with too!

I like how they stayed true to the sound. It's really nice. The lead's got a nice voice.

[ZagaYT]

I love it!!

[CordStudios]

loose or change the drums and it's great!
