Horrible Histories Theme Song Lyrics
Terrible Tudors gorgeous Georgians
slimy Stuarts vile Victorians
woeful wars ferocious fights ditchy castles
daring knights
Horrors that defy description
cut throat Celts awful Egyptians
vicious Vikings cruel crimes
punishments from ancient times
Romans rotten rank and ruthless
cavemen savage fierce and toothless
groovy Greeks brainy sages
Mean and measly middle ages
Gory stories we do that
And your host the talking rat
The past is no longer a mystery
Welcome to Horrible Histories
