I can't recall Let's have a party anyway Because I love a masked ball! All hail, the king! Of bling! Let's sing! Bells ring! Ding ding! I'm the king who brought back partying! Verse 5 King Charles, my daddy Lost his throne and kings were banned They chopped off his head A Then Olly Cromwell ruled the land Verse 6 Old Olly wasn't jolly He was glum, and he was proud Would be miserable as sin Only sinning's not allowed!
