Gonna tell you a story

About chuck and diane

Couple british kids from

The palace at buckingham

Chuckie wants to grow up

And be a polo star

And ride his little horsies

All around the backyard, oh yeah

You know they really paid their dues

I said, "hey, lawdy mama

They got them buckingham blues"

Now chuckie goes hunting

And leaves diane alone

So she fixes her hair

And she talks on the princess phone

Chuckie's still tryin' to figure out

What his job's supposed to be

And diane's the fashion leader

Of the aristocracy

I said, "hey, lady di

Tell me where'd you get them shoes, ah

Well, hey nonny nonny

Looks like you got them buckingham blues"

Aw, bein' heir to the throne, well

It must be awful hard

Gotta pose for pictures

Out on the front yard

And lady di, well

She must have it pretty rough

Gotta hang around the house all day

Makin' babies and stuff

On another game of croquet

Then they're off on a caribbean cruise

Well, hey bop-a-re-bop

They really got them buckingham blues

Ah, tell the truth, now, tell the truth

Wow

I got my mojo workin'

Yeah, woo, don't help me now

Ah, hurt me, mama, whoa, ah

They don't serve no twinkies

With their afternoon tea

Never had a dinner

Made by chef boyardee

Bein' in the spotlight

Is a hard life to choose

Diane drops half a pound

It's on the six o'clock news, oh yeah

Those kids have really paid their dues

Oh, what a royal pain it is

When you got them buckingham blues
