[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!

La chanson raconte les mésaventures de Chuck et Diane, deux jeunes britanniques vivant à Buckingham. Chuck aspire à devenir un star du polo, tandis que Diane s'occupe de son apparence et des responsabilités liées à son statut. Malgré leur vie de privilèges, la chanson met en lumière les pressions et les dérives que peut apporter leur position, comme les attentes publiques et la difficulté à trouver leur propre voie. L’humour est ici omniprésent, soulignant qu’être de la noblesse n’est pas aussi simple qu’il y paraît. On y évoque également des aspects du quotidien royal, comme le degré de médiatisation de leur vie.
