Il testo della Oliver cromwell

The most interesting thing about king charles, the first
Is that he was 5 foot 6 inches tall at the start of his reign
But only 4 foot 8 inches tall at the end of it because of
Oliver cromwell, lord protector of england puritan
Born in 1599 and died in 1658 september

Was at first only mp for hunting don, but then he led the ironside cavalry
At marston moor in 1644 and won then he founded the new model army
And praise be, beat the cavaliers at naisby and the king fled up north
Like a bat to the scots

But under the terms of john pimm's solemn league and covenant
The scots handed king charles the first, over to
Oliver cromwell, lord protector of england and his warts
Born in 1599 and died in 1658 september

But alas, oy vay! the disagreement then broke out between
The presbyterian parliament and the military who meant
To have an independent bent and so the 2nd civil war broke out
And the roundhead ranks faced the cavaliers at preston banks
And the king lost again, silly thing, stupid git

And cromwell sent colonel pride to purge the house of commons
Of the presbyterian royalists leaving behind only the rump parliament
Which appointed a high court at westminster hall to indict
Charles, the first for tyranny, ooh! charles was sentenced to death
Even though he refused to accept that the court had jurisdiction
Say goodbye to his head

Poor king charles laid his head on the block
January 1649, down came the axe and in the silence that followed
The only sound that could be heard was a solitary giggle from
Oliver cromwell, lord protector of england, ole
Born in 1599 and died in 1658 september

Then he smashed ireland, set up the commonwealth and more
He crushed the scots at worcester and beat the dutch at sea in 1653
And then he dissolved the rump parliament
And with lambert's consent wrote the instrument of government
Under which oliver was protector at last

The end
