Lyrics

Back in the old days in 1584 We had a Prince here called William the Bore Wealthy and worthless he was born tired But he was the boss so he couldn't get fired Then in came this Frenchy Oops, he had a gun Billy went down the stairs He never got up again It's the rise of the Dutch Republic A couple of years later it's 1984 There's another Prince and a few bastards more They honor the memory of William the First Well, he had been boring but they're even worse Recalling his death Hey, that's a good idea Find yourself a weapon Choose your Billy of the Year It's the rise of the Dutch Republic
