Horrible Histories
Victoria & Albert: a Love Ballad
[Victoria (Howe-Douglas)]
For 40 years I ruled alone
She'd all those tears while on the throne
What got me through the pain and hurt
Was clinging to the memory of Albert
[Albert (Howick)]
I loved her so, my darling Vicky
So much, you know almost made me sicky
I was not liked in your country
But who cares when I had her love for me
Her love for me
[Both]
Oh V and A, oh A and V
Each way it spells L-O-V-E
Oh A and V, oh V and A
They'll name a building after us one day
[Albert]
In love from our first rendezvous
[Victoria]
As queen, had to propose to you
You were my rock in a crisis
[Albert]
Like when someone tried to shoot you but they missed
[Victoria]
We were a real celebrity pair
Was first Queen Vic
[Albert]
First Albert
[Victoria]
Square
The press watched every smile and flirt
Called us Alboria but I prefer Vicbert
[Albert]
Or you can call me Al
[Both]
Oh Bert and Vic, oh Vic and Bert
[Victoria]
Nine kids, great family advert
[Both]
Oh Vic and Bert, oh Bert and Vic
[Victoria]
Yet I found babies ugly, ironic
Eurgh, my eyes!
[Both]
We set trends, starting new traditions
Christmas trees, wearing tartan with style
[Victoria]
Albert backed the Great Exhibition
[Albert]
Which made Great Britain Albert-o-phile
[Victoria]
At last!
[Both]
Oh Vic and Al, oh Al and Vic
[Victoria]
You showed our kids love with your stick
[Both]
Oh Al and Vic, oh Vic and Al
Ours was a truly grand affair royale
[Victoria]
Then Albert died, which left just me
Just V, no A, no A, just V
Oh how I mourned my special pal
[Albert]
I loved you, Vic
[Victoria]
I loved you, Al
