Six!

No Way
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way
There's no way
You must agree that baby
In all the time I've been by your side
I've never lost control
No matter how many times I knew you lied
Have my golden rule
Got to keep my cool
Yeah, baby

You know she's got to keep her cool

And even though you've had your fun


Running around with some pretty young thing
And even though you've had one son
With someone who don't own a wedding ring
No matter what I heard
I didn't say a word
No, baby

You know she never said a word

I put up with your sh—


Like every single day
But now it's time to shh
And listen when I say
Woo!

You must think that I'm crazy


You wanna replace me?
Baby, there's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way
If you think for a moment
I'd grant you annulment, just hold up
There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way
No way
There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way
No way
There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

There's no way

So you read a Bible verse that I'm cursed


'Cause I was your brothers wife
You say it's a pity cause quoting Leviticus
I'll end up kiddy-less all my life
Well daddy weren't you there
When I gave birth to Mary?

(spoken)
Aww! Hi, baby!

Daughters are so easy to forget

You're just so full of sh—


Must think that I'm naïve
I won't back down, won't shh
And know I'll never leave

You must think that I'm crazy


You wanna replace me?
Baby, there's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way
If you thought it'd be funny to
Send me to a nunnery
Honey, there's no way

No way
No way
There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way
No way
There's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

There's no way
Hey!

(Woo!)
(Let's go!)
(Woo!)
(Here we go!)

You've got me down on my knees


Please tell me what you think I've done wrong
Been humble, been loyal, I've tried
To swallow my pride all along
If you can just explain
A single thing I've done to cause you pain, I'll go
(spoken)
No?

[sung]
You've got nothing to say
I'm not going away
There's no way

You must think that I'm crazy


You wanna replace me?
Baby, there's n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

You made me your wife


So I'll be queen till the end of my life
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way

No way
No way

N-n-n-n-nope n-nope n-nope no! (No way)


No! (No way)

There's n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no way

There's no way!
[ANNE BOLEYN]
Grew up in the French court
Oui oui bonjour
Life was a chore
So

[Chorus]
She set sail

[ANNE BOLEYN]
1522 came straight to the UK
All the British dudes lame
[Chorus]
Epic fail!
Ooh

[ANNE BOLEYN]
I wanna dance and sing

[Chorus]
Politics

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Not my thing

[Chorus]
Ooh

[ANNE BOLEYN]
But then I met the king
And soon my daddy said
"You should try and get ahead!"
He wanted me, obviously
Messaging me like every day
Couldn't be better then he sent me a letter
And who am I kidding
I was prêt à manger

[Chorus]
Ooh

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Sent a reply

[Chorus]
Ooh

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Just saying 'Hi'
[Chorus]
Ooh

'You're a nice guy
I'll think about it maybe
XO baby'

[Chorus]
Uh oh

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Here we go

[Chorus]
You sent him kisses

[ANNE BOLEYN]
I didn't know I would move in with his missus

[Chorus]
What?!

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Get a life!

[Chorus]
You're living with his wife?

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Like, what was I meant to do?
Sorry, not sorry 'bout what I said
I'm just trying to have some fun
Don't worry, don't worry
Don't lose your head
I didn't mean to hurt anyone
LOL
Say 'Oh, well!'
Or go to hell!
I'm sorry, not sorry 'bout what I said
Don't lose your head

Three in the house


With Henry’s spouse

Make up your mind!"
Her or me, chum
Don't wanna be some
Unwanted moat scum
Are you blind?

[Chorus]
Ooh

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Don't be bitter

[Chorus]
Ooh

[ANNE BOLEYN]
'Cause I'm fitter

[Chorus]

He not gonna thrill you
Somebody kill you

But rumours spiral

[Chorus]
Wow Anne, way to make the country hate you!

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Mate, what was I meant to do?
Sorry, not sorry about what I said
I'm just trying to have some fun
Don't worry, don't worry
Don't lose your head
I didn't mean to hurt anyone
LOL
Say 'Oh, well!'
Or go to hell!
I'm sorry, not sorry 'bout what I said
Don't lose your head

Tried to elope
But the Pope said 'Nope!'
Our only hope was HENRY
He got a promotion
Caused a commotion
Set in motion the C of E

[Chorus]
The rules

[ANNE BOLEYN]
Were so outdated
Us two wanted to get elated
[Chorus]
Soon
Excommunicated

Everybody chill

[JANE SEYMOUR]
You've got a good heart
But I know it changes
A restless tide, untameable
You came my way
And I knew a storm could come too
You'd lift me high, or let me fall

But I took your hand


Promised I'd withstand
Any blaze you blew my way
'Cause something inside
It solidified
And I knew I'd always stay

You can build me up


You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
When the fire's burnt
When the wind has blown
When the water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

You say we're perfect


A perfect family
You hold us close for the world to see
And when I say you're the only one I've ever loved
I mean those words truthfully

But I know, without my son


Your love could disappear
And though it isn't fair
But I don't care
'Cause my love will still be here

You can build me up


You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
When the fire's burnt
When the wind has blown
When the water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

Soon I'll have to go


I'll never see him grow
But I hope my son will know
He'll never be alone
'Cause like a river runs dry
And leaves its scars behind
I'll be by your side
'Cause my love is set in stone

Yeah

[ALL]
You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
The fire's burnt
The wind has blown
The water's dried

[JANE SEYMOUR]
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

[ALL]
You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakeable
The fire's burnt
The wind has blown
The water's dried

[JANE SEYMOUR]
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone
