about

It comes but once a year, and it can only come from one person.
Some would kill to hear it.

lyrics

Didn't get what I wanted
but it's on its way.
This kind of present
doesn't come in a sleigh.

Will she tell us 'bout the aliens?
Share her feelings about wing-tipped shoes?
Paint us by numbers?
Rise from the primordial ooze?

And I would slam a child's face into a wall
for just one moment...
of the Queen's Address!

I waited all morning.
I waited 'til noon.
Over a refreshing glass of eggnog
I studied the runes...

Will she fill us with saintly needs?
Bake us a townhouse?
Sign all of our trading cards?
Bring life to the Commonwealth?

And I would dropkick a cat across the skies
for just one precious moment...
of the Queen's Address!

[The vigorous dancing of enthusiasts of the monarchy, while under the influence of spiked 'nog ensues, injuring at least one family member. This is compulsory.]

I'm coming to see her.
But it'll take a few days...
I'll step on my pony,
and I'll ride away...
