Buckingham Blues

Gonna tell you a story about Chuck and Diane
Couple British kids from the palace at Buckingham
Chuckie wants to grow up and be a polo star
And ride his little horsies all around the backyard, oh yeah

You know they really paid their dues
I said, "Hey, lawdy mama
They got them Buckingham blues"

Now Chuckie goes hunting and leaves Diane alone
So she fixes her hair and she talks on the princess phone
Chuckie's still tryin' to figure out what his job's supposed to be
And Diane's the fashion leader of the aristocracy

I said, "Hey, Lady Di
Tell me, where'd you get them shoes? Ah
Well, hey nonny, nonny
Looks like you got them Buckingham blues"

Aw, bein' heir to the throne, well it must be awful hard
Gotta pose for pictures out on the front yard
And Lady Di, well, she must have it pretty rough
Gotta hang around the house all day makin' babies and stuff

Another game of croquet
Then they're off on a Caribbean cruise
Well hey bop-a-re-bop
They really got them Buckingham blues

Ah, tell the truth, now, tell the truth, wow
I got my mojo workin'
Yeah, woo, don't help me now
Ah, hurt me mama, woo

They don't serve no Twinkies with their afternoon tea
Never had a dinner made by Chef Boyardee
Bein' in the spotlight is a hard life to choose
Diane drops half a pound it's on the six o'clock news, oh yeah

Those kids have really paid their dues
Oh, what a royal pain it is
When you got them Buckingham blues
