Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ay, hear ye, uh
I'm the new town crier, yeah, I took over from barry
I know we all miss him, but he died of dysentery
So now I'm here with the announcements of the day
Got my band beside me, I know you like the way they play
A changin' of the guard is soon gonna commence
But this one is special, better than the shy affair
'Cause this time, the whole royal family will be there
(Oh yeah)
King Rowan, of course, and our queen Beatrice
In their fancy royal robes, you don't want to miss
Prince Robert with the hair, princess Gwen no doubt
See the new guards come in and old roll out
Yeah
