It was a real bummer
The French took her dog from her
And let her keep nothing from home at all
She was Marie Antoinette
And she really loved that pet
But she was at everyone’s beck and call
She was all German
But still determined
To learn to speak French as her duty royal
She was the dauphine
And soon to be queen
Of France until they watched her head roll and fall
Her job, to be pretty
And just a bit witty
A regular eighteenth century Barbie doll
Royal down to her toes
She wore the finest hose
And dressed to the nines for her garden strolls
They say she was spoiled
But nightly she toiled
To get the Dauphin to get on the ball
To give the king an heir
Or even a pair
But all that prince ever did was stall stall stall
Until late one night
They turned out the lights
The Prince gave the greatest performance of all
Underneath the sheets
He gave his queen a treat
Nine months later the doctor made a house call
“Holy smokes,” they said.
“The Prince is a dad
And Antoinette is our queen with her hair so tall.”
So she done her duty
And she done it truly
Then she spent the French out of home and alcohol
Down came the Bastille
Up the People’s will
And a budget that gave her no hat or carryall
They said goodbye to a queen
At the guillotine
Where Antoinette made her final curtain call
And now that you’ve heard
All that occurred
Do you think she deserved to lose that dog at all?
