Ex-Wives

Divorced

Beheaded

Died

Divorced

Beheaded

Survived

And tonight, New York City, we are

Live

Listen up, let me tell you a story

A story that you think you've heard before

We know you know our names, and our fame, and our faces

Know all about the glories and the disgraces

I'm done, 'cause all this time

I've been just one word in a stupid rhyme

So I picked up a pen and a microphone

History's about to get overthrown

Divorced

Beheaded

Died

Divorced

Beheaded

Survived

But just for you tonight

We're divorced, beheaded, live

Welcome to the show, to the histo-remix

Switching up the flow as we add the prefix

Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

Raising up the roof till we hit the ceiling

Get ready for the truth that we'll be revealing

Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

But now we're ex-wives

All you ever hear and read about

Is our ex and the way it ended

But a pair doesn't beat a Royal Flush

You're gonna find out how he got unfriended

Tonight we're gonna do ourselves justice

'Cause we're taking you to court

Every Tudor rose has its thorns

And you're gonna hear 'em live in consort

Divorced

Beheaded

Died

Divorced

Beheaded

Survived

But just for you tonight

We're divorced, beheaded, live

Welcome to the show, to the histo-remix

Switching up the flow as we add the prefix

Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

Dancing through the night till the break of day, once

We're done we'll start again like it's the renaissance

Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

But now we're ex-wives

Remember us from PBS?

(Divorced) My name's Catherine of Aragon

Was married twenty-four years, I'm a paragon

Of royalty, my loyalty is to the Vatican

So if you try to dump me, you won't try that again

(Beheaded) I'm that Boleyn girl, and I'm up next

See, I broke England from the Church, yeah, I'm that sexy

Why did I lose my head?

Well, my sleeves may be green, but my lipstick's red

(Died) Jane Seymour, "the only one he truly loved"

(Rude) When my son was newly born

I died, but I'm not what I seem

Or am I? Stick around and you'll suddenly see more

(Divorced, ja?) Ich bin Anna of Cleves

When he saw my portrait, he was like (Ja)

But I didn't look as good as I did in my pic

Funny how we all discuss that, but never Henry's little-

Prick up your ears, I'm the Katherine who lost her head (Beheaded)

For my promiscuity outside of wed-

Lock up your husbands, lock up your sons

K-Howard is here and the fun's begun

(Survived) Five down, I'm the final wife

I saw him to the end of his life

I'm the survivor, Catherine Parr

I bet you wanna know how I got this far

I said, I bet you wanna know how I got this far

Do you wanna know how we got this far?

Then welcome to the show, to the histo-remix

Switching up the flow as we add the prefix

Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

Turn the beat up, get this party buzzin'

You want a Queen Bee? Well, there's half a dozen

Everybody knows that we used to be six wives

But now we're ex-wives

One, two, three, four, five
