Well I've been working for the king for many's the year
He nicks all me whiskey and drinks all me beer
He taxes my pay and he fills me with fear
I've been working for the king for many's the year
Well I worked for his Mrs before he was here
She was a right bloody scoundrel who sapped all me cheer
I kept the queen's peace both far wide and near, now I work for her fella and that much is clear
Well I dress in his colours, put his badge on my hat, and take on his villains as he grows old and fat
Well I can't take no more that's a matter of fact, the writings on the wall it's time I got sacked
Well he treats me no good and he treats me no fair, and his buddies in parliament don't have a care, I'm just slaving away til the weekend draws near, I've been working for the king for many's the year.
