Magna Cartoon
[DOT]
Don't be coy, Old 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!"

[DOT]
And you'd do well, lest folk rebel, to sign this clever creed

[YAKKO]
The British Isles 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]
And win the blessings of thе Pope
[YAKKO]
You can't decline, you'll havе to sign, or face a civil war

[DOT]
Though you'll be vexed, this deed's effects
Go far beyond 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 arrests at the King's behest
For now you'll need a reason

[WAKKO]
Unless you're craving one more bathing
Embrace legal restitution
Church and State will separate
Or there'll be regal revolution

[DOT]
And the message then will spread
[YAKKO]
Like liberty butter on freedom bread!

[WAKKO]
Through the ages, to the pages of the U.S. Constitution

[YAKKO]
In eight-hundred years, to peoples' cheers
These words will further travel
To unclasp each despot's grasp
And to ensure their reign's unravel

[DOT]
Rights were granted at our birth

[YAKKO]
To every corner of the Earth

[WAKKO]
From United Nations' declarations

[ALL]
"Down to every judge's gavel!"
