lyrics

GUILLOTINE.
Lady Jane, Lady Jane, Had to stand in the pouring rain,
She felt no pain as she lost her head, they found it in a flower bed,
Here comes the candle to light you to bed.
These blackened skies are rolling by, looks like rain. Looks like rain.
Mothers call their children home, no more games. No more games.
Bloody Mary, Catholic Queen, friend of the guillotine,
Her Gardiner grows rows and rows of cockleshells and headstones.
Here comes the candle to light you to bed.
There are things children should not see in the streets today. In the streets today.
But headline news always finds its way into children's songs and childrens play.
Three blind mice, see how they run,
Bloody Mary gets them one by one,
They lose their tails, they lose their heads,
The candle lights your way to bed.
Here comes the chopper to chop off your head.
