Lyrics

The Queen woke up laughing, it was happening again
Got up and wrote the joke down with her royal ballpoint pen
Thanked her stars for coffee and for all her favorite men
the Queen woke up laughing

The Queen had perfect posture, even in the morning
Her kingdom wasn't huge, but it was everything she wanted
Her window let in everything her aging eyes could see
The Queen kept on laughing

All hail the Queen in her flannel plaid pajamas
A hero to her friends, her family's top banana
A Queen and a healer, the world’s coolest grandma
All hail the Queen

I was one of the lucky ones who landed in her orbit
She called me to her castle so I could be awarded
I got down one knee and she knighted me that day
We both tried not to laugh

All hail the Queen in her dollar store tiara
Just the kind of royal always doing what she oughta
Opening her arms and opening her borders
All hail the Queen

Who is gonna fill in when she steps off the throne
We’ll all just have to miss her when her spirit has flown

We’ll watch her royal wave when the coach takes her away
She’ll say, “my love left long ago, but I just had stay”
And finally it’s my turn to see him once again
And won’t we have a laugh?”

All hail the Queen who made her own good luck
She loved when we bowed down to her, it really cracked her up
A Queen and a servant who loved most everyone
All hail the Queen
All hail the Queen
All hail the Queen
