King Henry was a man whose dad ruled the land
Before he died then his brother William
Took over and was crowned the king of England
He fell sick and died and that's where we begin
Henry was king had to kids
One was William the other Matilda
William was next to be king and
Little Matilda was his older sister
Tragedy struck and William died
After that Henry never smiled
But then he was bent on the fact that the crown should always remain on his family's side
He had a nephew though
A boy named Stephen helped him grow
Gave him the things that the boy could have never imagined that's how far he'd go
Then one day before Henry died
He called all the Barons to his side
And made them swear that his daughter Matilda will be crowned the Queen of the English side
But then in history what we find
Is the fact that they were a crafty kind
Crowned Stephen king and said king Henry on his death bed changed his mind
'Twas recorded in history
That Matilda was a meany
As for Stephen
He was calm, laid back and easy
The Barons they completely
Betrayed king Henry and quickly
Turned around, gave the throne to his nephew
How sneaky
How sneaky
'Twas recorded in history
Is the fact that they were a crafty kind
How sneaky
They completely betrayed King henry and quickly
'Twas recorded in history
How sneaky
Turned around, gave the throne to his nephew
How sneaky
