The smiled so much and waved their flags
         Am                           C 
to the military band
         Am                           Bb 
Most of the people failed to see
         Am                           C 
She had a broken bottle in the other hand

           Dm 
When she took them by the throat

And she said "My friend you're not allowed to vote"
         F 
But they shook it all off,
           Dm 
With a nervous laugh and cough,
           Bb                                                 C 
"Next time," she said "I'll let those people choke"
         F

         Eb 
Smiled so much they failed to take a breath
         Bb 
And even when their kids were starving
         C 
They all thought the queen was charming
She polished all upon the wall
