The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, Annual Extravaganva July 1923

[subsection]

Sheezastunna—

1.
When a royal princess marries, she
don't get no sort of show;
She mustn't choose her husband from
the folks wot are below;
He may be old and ugly or he may be
fat or thin,
But the thing that's most important is
that he should have the tin.
Chorus—
Yes, the thing that's most important
is that he should have the tin.

Chorus.—

2.
Now there's our little Mary gone and married Lord Lascelles
He was twice as old as she was when they rang the wedding bells.
They say it was a love match, tho' to look at he's no beaut.
But he's got wot's more important, for he's got the bloomin' hoot.
Chorus—
Yes, he's got what's more important, for he's got the bloomin' hoot.

3.
Now Georgie, Duke of York, has got married to Lizzie Lyon.
The ring it was of sapphires, and they say it was a pie 'un.
Now Lizzie's quite a sporting lass and pretty as a peach;
She also owns half Scotland, so our Georgie's struck it rich.
Chorus—
Yes, she also owns half Scotland, so our Georgie's struck it rich.

4.
Now what of Eddie, Prince of Wales?
His case- it's a bad 'un;
They say he's looking for a wife; it's really time he had 'un.
We hope they will not land him with some princess off the shelf,
For we'd like to see our Eddie pop the question for himself.
Chorus—
Yes, we'd like to see our Eddie pop the question for himself.
