My enemies stood no chance

They call me the first English king
    C
Although I come from France
  C
1066, the Doomsday book
   C
I gave to history

So fat on death my body burst
     F
But enough about me
    A#
To help remember all your kings

Then George the third was quite absurd
     C
Till I replaced old him
      C
King George the fourth and known henceforth

As angry, fat and cross (hang on)

It's true you beat Napoleon
