[Dot]
Don't be coy, Old Johnny Boy
We have seen what you've decreed
You've taxed and pillaged every village
And ignored their every need
[Wakko]
So, we wrote the Magna Carta
[Yakko]
Which is Latin for Great Charter!
[Dot]
And you'd do well, lest folk rebel, to sign this clever creed
[Yakko]: The British Isles will have fair trials
And I'll tell you what's more
Neither King, nor Son, nor anyone
Will be above the Law
[Wakko]
So if you're to have a hope
[Dot]
And win the blessings of the Pope
[Yakko]
You can't decline, you'll have to sign, or face a civil war
[Dot]
Though you'll be vexed, this deed's effects
Go far beyond on this region
You can stamp and shout and whine about
This blatant act of treason
[Wakko]
But we demand habeas corpus
[Yakko]
Meaning tyrants should be cautious!
[Dot]
No more arrests at the King's behest
For now you'll need a reason
[Wakko]
Unless you're craving one more bathing
Embrace legal restitution
Church and State will separate
Or there'll be regal revolution
[Dot]
And the message then will spread
[Yakko]
Like liberty butter on freedom bread!
[Wakko]
Through the ages, to the pages of the you.S. Constitution
[Yakko]
In eight-hundred years, to peoples' cheers
These words will further travel
To unclasp each despot's grasp
And to ensure their reign's unravel
[Dot]
Rights were granted at our birth
[Yakko]
To every corner of the Earth
[Wakko]
From United Nations'
Declarations
[Yakko, Wakko and Dot]
Down to every judge's gavel!
