Welcome to the show
To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives
Raising up the roof
Till we hit the ceiling
Get ready for the truth
That we'll be revealing
Everybody knows
That we used to be six wives
But now we're
Ex-wives
[CATHERINE]
All you ever hear and read about
[MARY]
Is our ex and the way it ended
[JANE]
But a pair doesn't beat a royal flush
[ANNA]

How we got unfriended

'Cause we're taking you to court

Welcome to the show

To the historemix
Switching up the flow
As we add the prefix
Everybody knows that
We used to be six wives
Dancing to the beat
Till the break of day, once
We're done, we'll start again
Like it's the Renaissance
Everybody knowsThat we used to be six wives
But now we're
Ex-wives
Divorced

Was married 24 years, I'm a paragon
Of royalty, my loyalty is to the Vatican
So if you try to dump me
You won't try that again
[ALL]
Beheaded
[MARY]
I'm that Boleyn girl
And I'm up next, see
I broke England from the Church
Yeah, I'm that sexy
Why did I lose my head?
Well my sleeves may be green

But my lipstick's red!
[ALL]

Suddenly see more
