William of Orange
With many ships and many men
William sailed for Torbay
This made James think again
When his fleet was evaded
And his realm was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
James took a second wife
Mary of Modena
To help his Catholic life
Sound judgement was evaded
And his realm was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
In fog and mist along the English coast
William came to Brixham
James feared him the most
And bloodshed was evaded
When England was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
A Foolish King James the Second
To be Catholic he had reckoned
Would convert England back to Rome
But due to this he lost his throne
Go to Brixham and you will see
A statue of white marble
William of Orange on the quay
The smells can't be evaded
And the tourists have invaded
But don't frown
At the seagull for his crown
Where history was created
Oh no don't frown
At the seagull for his crown
Where history was created
William sailed for Torbay
This made James think again
When his fleet was evaded
And his realm was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
James took a second wife
Mary of Modena
To help his Catholic life
Sound judgement was evaded
And his realm was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
In fog and mist along the English coast
William came to Brixham
James feared him the most
And bloodshed was evaded
When England was invaded
For to take the crown
Yes the English crown
William had been persuaded
A Foolish King James the Second
To be Catholic he had reckoned
Would convert England back to Rome
But due to this he lost his throne
Go to Brixham and you will see
A statue of white marble
William of Orange on the quay
The smells can't be evaded
And the tourists have invaded
But don't frown
At the seagull for his crown
Where history was created
Oh no don't frown
At the seagull for his crown
Where history was created
