Jubilee

We honor Queen Elizabeth's 60th Jubilee with a song originally composed by her Fab Four subjects, The Beatles. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" was written by Paul McCartney and released in 1968 on The White Album.

Lizzy's been the Queen for 60 years, it's so
Causing now and then a great big wince
For her son is stuck inside an endless role
He can't get out from under being just the Prince.

Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on. . ..
Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on.

Oh her corgis seem to fill her heart with joy
More than all those problematic kids
Lives with plots that rival many soap operas,
I'm sure she'd like to cover these with royal lids.

Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on. . .
Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on.

In a couple of years there will be some brand new heirs
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Willie and Kate Windsor.

One year was an annus horribilis, yes
Fergie, Charles, and Diana, too,
Acted out in all the most horrific ways
And Windsor Castle burned as if this were her due.

Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on. . .
Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on.

In a couple of years there will be some brand new heirs
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Willie and Kate Windsor.

Now her life has settled into normalcy
Everyone's behaving very well
But there's always Harry waiting in the wings
To turn the monarchy right back into a hell.

Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on. . .
Jubilee, Jubilah, queens go on, Brah!
Lala how the Queen goes on.

And if you want some fun
Sing Jubilee, Lala.
