Mary, bloody Mary,

Queen oh queen contrary.

Ruthless to her rotten core,

Princess, bastard, heir galore.

Deeply pius 'pon point of death,

Staunch and stoic. 

Raised á gloriana,

Deemed a Maria Regina.

But, alas! Come Anne Boleyn!

Then quite a mess poor Mary's in!

Banished away

Estranged from dear Catherine

Made housemaid of Lillibet,

Oh spiteful, hateful, Lillibet!

Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn,

Ousting Mary from e'rything

A mere haughty babe.

Regnant over royals

Even from natural age.

How humiliating!

Poor Mary!

Mary, contrary Mary,

Plotting sweet revenge

Mary, bloody Mary,

Did plan to cut off their heads.

Merciful was she

To that undeserving Lillibet

Protestant Princess Lillibet.

The Great and Pious Mary

Sought an equally pious mate

A Catholic husband

To legitimize her throne

A real partner beside her

A real home to call her own.

Mary wed Phillip of Spain

For both it appeared great gain.

Unpopular was Phillip of Spain

And unpopular was Mary,
Queen to Reig.

She gained her throne

In a trail of severed necks

Of ruthless destruction

And mutinous army.

Finally at last

Was contrary Mary secure

And overlord (lady) of England

Mistress of all she'd heard she couldn't have.

Queen Maria Regina

Of all English land.

Oh proud and tall and brave she'd stand

Great Mary Tudor,

Queen of England!
