THEY'RE CHANGING THE GUARD

AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE

the Queen was in her bedroom

drinking a cup of cocoa

when out the blue this bloke bursts in

he must have gone plumb loco

he says 'Hello Your Majesty

I don't wish to intrude

I'm a true & loyal subject ma'am

please don't think me rude'

she stayed cool calm & collected

as if it were just routine

you've got to admire her regal pluck

in the face of the unforeseen

he could have been a killer

suppose he'd had a gun

but he only wanted a cigarette

& he asked the Queen for one

the Queen did some quick thinking

said 'my footman has a packet

I'll open the door & get him

to fetch a smoking jacket'

a Horse Guard in a busby

hauled the man away

God had Saved Our Gracious Queen

& her courage saved the day

now heads will roll at Scotland Yard

security must be tightened

there'll be questions in the House

'cos dear old Liz was frightened

we love the Royal Family

no-one bears them any malice

they ought to be protected

let's lock 'em in the palace
