A King is Pronounced!

Today’s the day when our proud nation
Celebrates Charlie’s Coronation
Sitting on King Edward’s chair
The Stone of Destiny under there
A big red brick, for what it’s worth
From old Scone Abbey, close to Perth
It’s worth a lot if you’re a Scot
(Pretty worthless if you’re not)
Stolen goods, some say it’s cursed
Since it was nicked by Ted the First
Some say skown, some say s’gone
But skoon’s the Scots’ pronunciation

Skown, skoon, s’gone, whichever one
I’ll celebrate with a currant bun!

When Charles the Third receives his Croon
Watch out for the brick beneath his Throon.
