INTROjangly guitar riff, tambourine enters, cocky strut
VERSE
I take my tea in the sunbeam on the carpet, half past three,the household knows the protocol, the sunbeam comes to me.Five hundred years of pedigree packed in a dinner roll,I didn't choose the shape, my love. I chose the way it strolls.
PRE-CHORUS
The wolfhound's got the stature and the peacock's got the show,but who got knighted from the ankles down? Hello, hello.
CHORUS
Make way, make way,the smallest crown in England's on parade today,I'm short in the leg but I'm long in the line,the cutest butt on the internet, they find,so pour the tea and clear the hall,(oh oh, oh-oh-oh)I don't look up to anyone at all.
VERSE
Past midnight on a Tuesday I come trotting through the glass,the whole room rises for me, and the whole room's got some class.A lad on nights in Salford tapped his screen and set me loose,a week of saved-up smoke breaks just to hear her say his name.And I trotted out the way I always do, like it's the Mall,eleven inches, floor to crown, and every inch stands tall.
PRE-CHORUS
The stallion's got the shoulders and the swan has got the neck,but the palace picked the little one. The palace double-checked.
CHORUS
Make way, make way,the smallest crown in England's on parade today,I'm short in the leg but I'm long in the line,the cutest butt on the internet, they find,so pour the tea and clear the hall,(oh oh, oh-oh-oh)I don't look up to anyone at all.
BRIDGEhalf-spoken, drums pull back, bass walks
Nobody's born eleven inches thinking that it's small.You're only little if you sign for it. I never signed at all.And if you come around here with a measuring tape, be told,whoever measures me kneels first.
FINAL CHORUSbrass flourish, key lift, handclaps
Make way, make way,the smallest crown in England's on parade today,I'm short in the leg but I'm long in the line,the cutest butt on the internet, they find,so raise a cup and clear the hall,(oh oh, oh-oh-oh)I don't look up to anyone at all.No, I don't look up to anyone at all.
OUTROterrace chant, gang vocals, tambourine, fade on jangle
La la la, la la la (make way, make way),la la la, la la la (make way for the crown),one wags as one walks, one never looks back,la la la, la la la,make way.
