"Everyone settle down, and by everyone I mean Anne and Kitty," Jane said trying to get them to sit on the couch. "Are you almost done loading up the song?" Jane looked toward Cathy.

"Almost..." Parr clicked a few more buttons and suddenly a video popped up on the screen. "Done." Catherine went to join everyone else on the couch. "This was the first group song that we recorded together, Ex-Wives," she said as she played the video.

"I really like the lighting for each of us after we say our line in the rhyme" Jane commented "Its a stupid rhyme" Kitty muttered under her breath

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
Listen up, let me tell you a story

"I of course sing first," Catherine said "Yeah, you were the first wife that Henry decided he didn't like, such a great achievement," Anne said sarcastically

[Anne Boleyn:]
A story that you think
You've heard before

[Jane Seymour:]
We know you know our names
And our fame and our faces

[Anne Of Cleves:]
Know all about the glories
And the disgraces

[Katherine Howard:]
I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been just one word
In a stupid rhyme

"Like I said, it's a stupid rhyme," Katherine said. All of the other queens nodded in agreement "At least we were able to base a whole album off it" Cleves laughed.

[Catherine Parr:]
So I picked up a pen and a microphone

[All:]
History's about to get overthrown

"Cathy really did a good job with all of the double meanings," Jane said "They really add depth to the song"

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
Divorced

[Anne Boleyn:]
Beheaded

[Jane Seymour:]
Died

[Anne Of Cleves:]
Divorced

[Katherine Howard:]
Beheaded

[Catherine Parr:]
Survived

Everyone laughed at how sarcastically Catherine had said Survived. 

[All:]
But just for you tonight
We're divorced, beheaded
LIVE!
Welcome to the show
To the historemix

"Again nice job with the writing Cathy" Jane said. Parr made a mental note to try to use that again in the final song.

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

"The rhyming is pretty good," Boleyn said 

[Catherine Of Aragon:]
All you ever hear
And read about

[Anne Boleyn:]
Is our ex and the way it ended

[Jane Seymour:]
But a pair doesn't beat a royal flush

[Anne Of Cleves:]
You're gonna find out
How we got unfriended

"When you wrote that line were you talking about all of us or mainly you specifically?" Kitty asked. "Mostly you guys, after I willingly divorced Henry he didn't really mind me," Cleves said

[Katherine Howard:]
Tonight we gonna do ourselves justice
'Cause we're taking you to court

Kitty thought about how much they all deserved justice after what Henry did to them. When she had written that line for the song she wanted to express how unfair Henry was to them.
