E
Gonna cause a stink
E
Won't be the first to blink
E
I'm not who you think
E N.C. E
Don't mess with me, I'm Boudicca
[Verse 1]
EGA
My husband Prasutagus died, he was a Celtic king
ECB
I was his queen, so due to me was half of everything
EGA
Roman law gave half to me, so half was what they got
ECB
'Til their nasty soldiers came and took the blessed lot
A
Hey mister, I say you got the wrong end of the stick
E N.C.
His answer turned this sister into one angry chick
[Chorus]
DA
No man, Roman'll push around this woman
E
You won't get far with Boudicca
DA
Bowmen, yeomen, smash the Roman foemen
E
All say yah (yah!) Boudicca!
[Verse 2]
EGA
I built a massive army, headed straight for the city
ECB
Beat 'em all with ease, unlike me, it wasn't pretty
EGA
Chopped 'em and hacked, but what made their red blood curl
E N.C.
(Bad enough being beaten, but beaten by a girl?)
[Chorus]
DA
Whacked 'em, smacked 'em, boy, how we attacked 'em
E
Near and far, ha ha ha!
DA
Flayed 'em, slayed 'em, up and down parade 'em
E
Boudicca! Toughest by far
[Bridge]
N.C.
Colchester, London, St. Albans
N.C. E
Everybody talk about dead Romans!
[Verse 3]
EGA
We marched on up the Roman road that's known as Watling Street
ECB
They trapped us in the forest, then thrashed us to our defeat
EGA
By now, you'd guessed I'm not the kind of girl to sit and cry
ECB
Be sold a slave to Romans? You know I'd rather die!
A
They tried to take me prisoner, so I led the Roman boys on
E N.C.
Instead of giving in to them, I swallowed special poison
[Chorus]
DA
Martyr, smarter, capturer, non-starter
E
This was our last hurrah
DA
Slaughtered, dismembered, our tribe always remembered
E
Boudicca! Superstar!
E
Boudicca! Superstar!
[Outro]
N.C.
Don't diss this miss
