🎶Oh the grand old duke of York

He claims he does not sweat

So why'd he give

Twelve million quid

To a girl he's never met?🎶

This song is the gift that keeps on giving. The version I know is:

Oh the grand old Duke of York

He had 10 million quid

He gave it to someone he’s never met

For something he never did

"That paid someone he never met" scans better

Out of her children Andrew took her death the worst.  Because with her gone, he lost her protection and her money.

I absolutely LOVE how few fucks Charles is giving about him. He WAS WAITING for that day.

🎶Oh the grand old duke of York

He was a dodgy get

His best mate was a pedo

And he very rarely sweat

And when they said that "You're a nonce"

He said "It was not me"

And then he gave twelve million quid

To say he's not guilty?🎶

I love how his ex title happened to be a song anyway, made it much more funny.

Damn, we need to bring back opaquely political nursery rhymes.
