feat. Aimie Atkinson, Christina Modestou, Genesis Lynea, Izuka Hoyle, Natalie Paris & Renee Lamb

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]
Divorced

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Beheaded

[JANE SEYMOUR]
Died

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
Divorced

[KATHERINE HOWARD]
Beheaded

[CATHERINE PARR]
Survived

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON, spoken]
And tonight, we are...

[ALL]
Live!

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]
Listen up, let me tell you a story

[ANNE BOLEYN]
A story that you think
You've heard before

[JANE SEYMOUR]
We know you know our names
And our fame and our faces

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
Know all about the glories
And the disgraces

[KATHERINE HOWARD]
I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been just one word
In a stupid rhyme

[CATHERINE PARR]
So I picked up a pen and a microphone

[ALL]
History's about to get overthrown

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]
Divorced

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Beheaded

[JANE SEYMOUR]
Died

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
Divorced

[KATHERINE HOWARD]
Beheaded

[CATHERINE PARR]
Survived

[ALL]
But just for you tonight
We're divorced, beheaded
Live!

Welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives

Raising up the roof
Till we hit the ceiling
Get ready for the truth
That we'll be revealing
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
But now we're
Ex-wives

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]
All you ever hear and read about

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Is our ex and the way it ended

[JANE SEYMOUR]
But a pair doesn't beat a royal flush

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
You're gonna find out
How we got unfriended

[KATHERINE HOWARD]
Tonight we gonna do ourselves justice
'Cause we're taking you to court

[CATHERINE PARR]
Every Tudor Rose has its thorns
And you're gonna hear 'em live: in consort

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]
Divorced

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Beheaded

[JANE SEYMOUR]
Died

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
Divorced

[KATHERINE HOWARD]
Beheaded

[CATHERINE PARR]
Survived

[ALL]
But just for you tonight
We're divorced, beheaded
Live!

Welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives

Dancing to the beat
Till the break of day, once
We're done, we'll start again
Like it's the Renaissance
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
But now we're
Ex-wives

Divorced

[CATHERINE OF ARAGON]
My name is Catherine of Aragon
Was married 24 years, I'm a paragon
Of royalty, my loyalty is to the Vatican
So if you try to dump me
You won't try that again

[ALL]
Beheaded

[ANNE BOLEYN]
I'm that Boleyn girl
And I'm up next, see
I broke England from the Church
Yeah, I'm that sexy
Why did I lose my head?
Well my sleeves may be green
But my lipstick's red!

[ALL]
Died

[JANE SEYMOUR]
Jane Seymour, the only one he truly loved

[ALL]
Rude

[JANE SEYMOUR]
When my son was newly born
I died, but I'm not what I seem
Or am I?
Stick around and you'll
Suddenly see more

[ALL]
Divorced

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
Ich bin Anna of Cleves

[ALL]
Ja

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
When he saw my portrait he was like-

[ALL]
Jaa

[ANNA OF CLEVES]
But I didn't look as good
As I did in my pic
Funny how we all discuss that
But never Henry's little-

[KATHERINE HOWARD]
Prick up your ears, I'm the Katherine
Who lost her head

[ALL]
Beheaded

[KATHERINE HOWARD]
For my promiscuity outside of wed-
Lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
K Howard is here
And the fun's begun

[ALL]
Survived

[CATHERINE PARR]
Five down, I'm the final wife
I saw him to the end of his life
I'm the survivor, Catherine Parr
I bet you wanna know how I got this far
I said, I bet you wanna know
How we got this far
Hey!

[ALL]
Do you wanna know how we got this far?
Then welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives

Get your hands up
Get this party buzzing
You want a queen Bee?
Well there's half a dozen
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives
But now we're
Ex-wives!

One, two, three, four, five
Six!
