Renaissance - Richard Ix Lyrics
Deep in the past there lived a man whose story must be toldOf royal descent but not of the royal line, oh ohNo history book relates this night of indiscretionInto the world hes brought, never to be presented at courtIn his mind a king though his mother wasnt wearing a ringShe keeps on saying:Chorus i:What they gonna do with richard, richard the ninth?You know hes my son, and the thought of it cuts like a knifeTo think hell ever sit upon the throneA prince without a homeWhat we gonna do with richard, richard the ninthThe least that we could do is to provide for his lifeNo job could have a stranger pedigreeHe means so much to me!As richard grew, he won the hearts of all the peopleHis father reigned, and while the servants poured, wo-ohThe lady waits and watches with anticipationWays of the world hes taughtThe eyes of the queen he has caughtMidnight matinees soon become the order of playShe keeps on saying:Chorus ii:What we gonna do with richard, richard the ninth?You know hes my son and the daughter, the queen, is his wifeBecomes the answer to my fantasyHe means the world to meWhat we gonna do with richard, richard the ninth?It seems a night of love, in the end turned out rightOne day I know hell sit upon the throneA prince no more aloneThis classic tale of woeShould tell you all you want to knowA page from our historyIts meant so much to me, to meChorus iChorus iiRepeat to fade
