Sing a song of sneezing
The Queen has got a cold
Four and twenty tissues
For a royal cold!
Could be even worse news
Phillip has it too.
Two red royal noses
Whatever will we do?
Phillip’s in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen is taking remedies;
Lemon hot with honey.
The maid is in the garden
Hanging out the clothes,
When down comes the Queen’s cold
And reddens up her nose.
They send for Phillip’s doctor,
To get them well again;
He treats them right royally
And sets them right again.
So all’s well in the country
There’s not much in the news
Just a sniffy royal nose
Bunged up in the mews.
