The Magna Carta Song

Inside a castle Abbey handed the King a piece of paper with the writing on it


Dot: This is the Magna Carta Your Majesty. Your salvation. Simply sign it swiftly and sedition is certain to subside.


King John: this is silly.


Yakko: Silly! Very good. Let us explain


Abbey: through song!


Dot: Don't be coil Johnny Boy. We have seen what you've decreed. You've taxed and pillaged every village and ignored their every need


Wakko: So we wrote the Magna Carta


Yakko: Which is Latin for Great Charter


Abbey: And you do well lest folk rebel to sign this clever creed.


Yakko: The British aisles will have fair trials and I'll tell you what's more neither King nor Son nor anyone will be above the Law


Wakko: So if you're to have a hope


Dot: To win the blessings of the Pope


Yakko: You can't decline you'll have to sign or face a civil war.


Abbey: don't forget there will still be so much more


Dot: you'll be vexed. This deed's effects will for be on this region. You can stamp and shout and whine about this blatant act of treason


Wakko: But we demand habeas corpus.


Yakko: Meaning tyrants should be cautious.


Dot: No more arrest at the King's behest. For now you'll need a reason.


Wakko: Unless you're craving 1 more bathing, and race legal restitution. Church and State will separate or there'll be regal revolution


Abbey: And the message then will spread


Yakko: Like liberty butter on freedom bread


Wakko: To the ages to the pages of the U.S. Constitution.


Yakko: In 800 years through peoples' cheers these words will further travel to 1 class recessed by craftsmen to ensure their reigns unravel.


Dot: Rights were granted at our birth


Yakko: To every corner of the Earth


Abbey: now you know what it's worth


Wakko: From United Nations' declarations


The Warner's and abbey: Down to every judges gavel!


Yakko: ok that has to work.


King John: what is the United Nations? And what is the US constitution? And what on earth is liberty butter?!


Yakko: listen buddy just sign or get off the throne.


Abbey: it's that easy!


Dot: yeah I mean surely you'll do anything to prevent another Civil War.


King John: I'd do anything to prevent another song


Dot: good enough! Just sign here


The king signed the paper


Wakko: we did it! And there's still a little time left in the chapter.


Abbey: well that was pretty fast.


Dot: what should we do now?


Yakko: how about one more quick song?


King John: no! Anything but that!


The king jumped out the window


Yakko: good night everybody!
