Back in those old Victorian days

Of draped piano legs and corset stays,

HRH Prince Eddy was reported to meet

Post boys for pleasure in Cleveland Street

And very quickly disappeared abroad

To escape judgement for conduct untoward

And ensure the public was unsuspecting

Of revelations that would see them disaffecting

The Institution that is British Royalty 

Demanding above all unswerving loyalty!

For that Institution itself to endure

Requires a reputation that's seen as pure

At least in hope if not in deed

And that is why it manages to succeed

But woe to those who fail its test -

They head abroad - it's for the best!
