Story behind the song
The true story of a guy with colourful dress sense.
Lyrics
Good Queen Bess 111 Even I who am somewhat shy had heard About the infamous Good Queen Bess 111 Her notoriety in some society was absurd And convinced me she’d be quite a plucky bird… Chorus: Good Queen Bess the Third We all got blessed but her… From her northern home where she was bred and born she roamed She had to abdicate to a neutral state all alone Like a latter-day Dick dressed like a chick she patrolled Through the Streets of Gold as her mother’s son she strolled Chorus: Good… There was no-one dressed like her… She had six languages at the tip of her tongue by day And she sometimes told the truth depending on her mood at night It was plain to hear this blond wasn’t dumb no way But for some there was never quite enough proof in sight.. Chorus: Like a French whore or a gangster’s moll She wore fake mink and sable And she hid her roots behind a southern drawl And danced like careless Betty Grable Chorus: repeat and fade..
