Lyrics
In the Tower of London large as life (large as life) The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks I declare (he declares) For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife (King Henry's wife) Until he made the axesman bob her head (bob her head) Ah, yes, he did her wrong, long years ago (long years ago) And, she comes up at night to tell him so (so, so, so) With her head (head) Tucked (tucked) Underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her head (head) Tucked (tucked) Underneath her arm At the midnight hour She comes to haunt King Henry She means to give him 'what for' (what for) Gadzook! She's going to tell him off For having spilt her gore (her gore) And, just in case the axesman Wants to give her an encore She has her head tucked underneath her arm ♪ Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread (gives a spread) For all his pals and gals a ghostly crew (a ghostly crew) The axesman carves the joint and cuts the bread (and cuts the bread) Then in comes Anne Boleyn to 'queer the do!' (to queer the do) She holds her head up with a wild war whoop! (woo, woo, woo) And Henry says, "Don't drop it in the soup!" (soup, soup, soup) With her head (head) Tucked (tucked) Underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her head (head) Tucked (tucked) Underneath her arm At the midnight hour The sentries think that it's a football That she carries in And when they've had a few they shout 'Is army going to win?' They think that it's Red Grange Instead of poor old Anne Boleyn With her head tucked underneath her arm Along the draughty corridors For miles and miles she goes (she goes) She often catches cold, poor thing It's cold there when it blows (it blows) And it's awfully awkward for the Queen To have to blow her nose With her head tucked underneath her arm With her head tucked, head tucked underneath her arm
