There are no rules
When you meet
The Queen
You shouldn’t look
The Queen
Directly in the eye
But that isn’t a rule
That’s just something
We would advise you
Not to do
But if you’d like to do it
You’re welcome to
And we’re sure
She won’t take offense
And send you to the Tower
We’re pretty sure
We’re fairly sure
So, you know
Use your good judgment
And do what you like
Because there are no rules
You can call her
Whatever you like
Your Highness
Your Royal Highness
Yo Lady with the Crown
Anything you like
Go right ahead
Enjoy yourself
Will she behead you?
Of course she probably won’t
Maybe not behead you
She’s got lots to do
And she can’t be concerned
With what people may do
Wrong or right
When they’re presented
To her
And it doesn’t matter
Because there is no right or wrong
When you’re meeting the Queen
You can do whatever you like
And probably make it out alive
Because we don’t make rules
About meeting the Queen
It’s all very casual
And comfortable
And you can say
Whatever you like
And hug her
Or shake her hand
Or kiss her on the cheek
And I’m sure
She won’t have your entire family
Imprisoned
There’s no reason to think
That you have to watch yourself
Very carefully around her
Because she’s just a human
She’s a regular human
There is no part of her
That is made of either metal
Or alien parts
Not at all
She cannot break you in half
Using nothing but her bare hands
Just because you laugh
In her presence
Where would you get the idea
That she could shoot laser beams
From her eyes
If you sneeze while meeting her?
Why would you ever assume
That the Queen
Has the time
To turn you into a life-sized
Human doll
And force you
To live in a giant dollhouse
In the country
Where she will only come visit you
Twice a year?
You have quite
The imagination on you
But yes, do whatever you like
Be formal
Don’t be formal
Be terrified
Don’t be terrified
It is a great honor
To meet
One of the most important
Leaders in world history
That has never actually
Legislated anything
Or really made any kind
Of difference in anyway
But, in general
When meeting anyone
As rich as the Queen
You should always
Keep on your toes
Not because it’s a rule
Just because
It’s good manners
If there’s one thing
We believe in
Here in Britain
It’s manners
