William Fitzwilliam went walking in April With sweet briar roses on the banks of the Thames When over his kerchief, there came such a clamor That William Fitzwilliam took shelter within
Don´t lose your head to this brooding and raging Don´t lose your heart to the sweetness of sin And don´t go out wandering, the ghosts hover around you The Howards and the Seymours The Poles and Boleyns
William Fitzwilliam emerged from the arbors A luminous show such as he´d never seen And so on to London he lit on his skateboard Arrived in a tumult to greet the new queen
Don´t lose your head to this brooding and raging Don´t lose your heart to the sweetness of sin And don´t go out wandering, the ghosts hover around you The Howards and the Seymours The Poles and Boleyns
As night settled earthly all clad in its sable And England´s fair princes were snug in their beds William Fitzwilliam did glide on the Humber In star silver sneakers among the living and the dead Don´t lose your head to this brooding and raging Don´t give your heart to the sweetness of sin And don´t go out wandering, the ghosts hover around you The Howards and the Seymours The Poles and Boleyns The Tudors and the FitzRoys The Poles and Boleyns
