Buckingham Blues
Weird Al Yankovic
[Intro] [Verse 1] Gonna tell you a story about Chuck and Diane Couple British kids from the palace at Buckingham. Chuckie wants to grow up and be a polo star And ride his little horsies all around the backyard oh yeah! [Chorus 1] You know they really paid their dues! I said "Hey lawdy mama They got them Buckingham blues!" [Verse 2] Now Chuckie goes hunting and leaves Diane alone So she fixes her hair and she talks on the princess phone. Chuckie’s still tryin’ to figure out what his job’s supposed to be And Diane’s the fashion leader of the aristocracy! [Chorus 2] I said "Hey Lady Di Tell me where’d you get them shoes ahhh Well hey nonny nonny Looks like you got them Buckingham blues!" [Verse 3] Aw bein’ heir to the throne well it must be awful hard Gotta pose for pictures out on the front yard. And Lady Di well she must have it pretty rough Gotta hang around the house all day makin’ babies and stuff! [Bridge] On another game of croquet then they’re off on a Caribbean cruise! Well hey bop-a-re-bop They really got them Buckingham blues! Ah tell the truth now tell the truth wow! [Solo] [Verse 4] They don’t serve no Twinkies with their afternoon tea Never had a dinner made by Chef Boyardee. Bein’ in the spotlight is a hard life to choose Diane drops half a pound it’s on the six o’clock news oh yeah! [Chorus 3] Those kids have really paid their dues! Oh what a royal pain it is When you got them Buckingham blues!
