Candle in the Wind (as originally drafted)
Goodbye Princess Di
May they all forget you were a tart
And have the grace to shed a tear
Before the rumours start
You went out of the country
And you tried to hide in vain
They saw you in the tabloids
You really should have changed your name
But it seems to me your driver was
Over three sheets to the wind
Never knowing what had happened
When the roof fell in
And I'd have liked to have seen the photo
But then I'm just a lout
Your minder will die of heart disease
Before the truth gets out
Royalty was tough
Those regal ears without a dick
Imagine bedding that one night
We can see you had to split
And 'specially now you're dead
Oh the Brits are all contrite
But when you were alive
They really couldn't give a shite
Goodbye Princess Di
From the young man who doesn't want to know
Who thinks you've run off to the Caribbean
To live with Marilyn Monroe
(and JFK, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Luther King, Maxwell et al.)
LONDON, Oct.1 (Wire Service) - After the recent "overwhelming" response to the re-dedication and performance of his "Candle In The Wind" at the funeral of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, pop singer Elton John has remade several of his other old hits into tributes to Diana. His song from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road entitled "Bennie And The Jets" is now "Diana And The Press." Following are the new lyrics.
Diana and the Press
Hey kids, the couple's not together
Diana tried to reach out but the Prince he wouldn't let her
We see it in the headlines now every day
You know the press is gonna make a killing now anyway
Say, Diana dating Dodi, have you seen them yet?
The news is that he drives her wild
D-D-D-D Diana and the Press
Oh, but she's real and she's wonderful
Diana she's really keen
She's got her Bally boots, Versace suits
You know I saw it in a magazine
D-D-D-D Diana and the Press
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe we're blinded
Diana makes us ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
When we lose all of our own sense of guilt and say who's right and who's wrong
Say, Diana did her duty, have you seen her yet?
The news is that it drove her wild
D-D-D-D Diana and the Press
Oh, but she was real and she was wonderful
Diana she was really keen
She's got her Bally boots, Versace suits
You know I saw it in a magazine
D-D-D-D Diana and the Press
Di, Di, Di, Diana and the Press
Untitled
Come gather around people,
And hear what we tell...
Of an Arab and a Princess,
Now rotting in hell.
Diana and Dodi,
No longer walk tall...
At 200 kilometers,
Smack into a wall.
Bodyguard drunk,
The chauffeur was pissed...
All of them dead,
And none will be missed.
To all of Great Britain,
It seems such bad luck,
The rest of the world,
Just don't give a f#ck.
Paparazzi snapping,
With their cameras new-fangled...
But we all want to see,
The shots of them mangled.
If only they knew,
It would come as a shock...
That when she was killed,
She was sucking his c#ck.
Now Charles can talk openly,
About f#cking Camilla,
Now longer has to do it,
In a secret French villa.
Prince William and Harry,
They cried many tears,
But mummies been f#cking,
All around her for years.
Soul of the party,
At the Queen's secret orgies,
With her licking and sucking,
And f#cking and corgies.
Stately funeral,
As if they'd been shot...
F#ck her in the ground,
And let the bitch rot.
All the King's surgeons,
And all the King's men,
Couldn't put the whore,
Back together again.
A gold digging bimbo,
Who failed all her tests,
Now it is time,
To lay her to rest.
Eating and drinking,
With the Lords and the rich,
You won't need food now,
You bulimic bitch!
A Moral Tale
Princess Di and playboy El-Fayad
Were chased by the press on a ri-ed
But the drived was pissed
And the corner was missed
Too fast - and they crashed and they di-ed.
Earl Spencer behaved like an ass
His speech content really was crass
With sentiment teenage
and populist spleen-age
It sure did appeal to the mass.
The press they announced Elton's song
With saccharine drivelling on
Norma Jean's haunting tribute
reduced to a song cute
and nauseous, sickly and wrong.
Queen Liz was all of a fuss
Her Xmas speech caused her to cuss:
"If only Fergie had died
as well on the ride
t'would have been 'Annus Terrificus' "
The hospital committee said "Why
Don't we name the new ward after Di?"
But for services dedicated
and contribution triplicated
It got called 'Henri Paul' - what a guy!
John Denver's Tribute to Diana
(To the tune of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy")
Well, I was a useless bitch, and a real glitterati,
Dolled up to the nines, I was arrogant and snotty,
Instead of a Mercedes, should've took a Maserati!
Thank God I'm a hoi-poloi!
I was jetting 'round the world, posing for the papparazzi,
But now I'm being mocked on the Net by a Nazi,
It's a big comedown for a Lady Hotsy-Totsy!
Thank God I'm a hoi-poloi!
I had fame, I had fans,
I had money and glory,
But a piss-drunk frog
Put an end to my story,
When he tried to take a tunnel at a hundred and forty...
Thank God I'm a hoi-poloi!
Leader of the Pack
He met her at the lingerie store
She said Charlie didnt love her anymore
That's when she fell for dodi el-fayed
The royal family was always putting her down, down down
The Queen mum said that di spent too much on gowns
Charlie was such a mama's boy
he always loved Camilla anyway
that's why Di fell for Dodi el fayed
She heard that Charlie found someone knew
and that he and Di were all through
Prince Charlie was a bum
and Princess Di wasn't so dumb
that's why she fell for Dodi el fayed.
His mum was always putting her down
Charlie liked to play around
He should have had it made
Princess Di was one hot babe
that's why she fell for Dodi El fayed
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B
There was a hot babe down Paris way
had a lot of class when she got laid
Her ex was a punk
and the driver was drunk
She's in heaven now
Smiling happily
She's the dead princess who went 103
She was a real dish with a royal past
Her first husband was a bloody ass
But the driver was trashed
when he stepped on the gas
She's in heaven now
Smiling happily
She's the dead princess who went 103
Everyone said she had great taste
when she died it was a real waste
but the paparazzi chased
and she spun out of the race
She's in heaven now
Smiling happily
s the dead princess who went 103
She was in a mercedes going a hundred per
escaping paparazzi taking pics of her
She was a babe with real class
but then her number came up and she was gone in a flash
She's in heaven now
smiling happily
she's the dead princess who went 103
It really brought her down because she lost her man
the guys with the cameras just didnt understand
she was hi class royalty
but her ticket was cashed and she was killed in a crash
She's in heaven now
smiling happily
she's the dead princess who went 103
Ballad of Jed Clampett - Theme from the Beverly Hillbillies
This is a story about Dodi and Di
they were eating at the Ritz and he felt her thigh
said my chateau is where we outta be
So they got in the Mercedes and drove crazily
Benz that is
Paris France
home of escarots and truffles
she got so excited she almost up-chucked her food
and the people at the Ritz would have thought that was rude
Please poke me Dodi, I ain't no prude
take me to your chateau, and you can see me nude
so they piled in the Mercedes,
she and her dude
French kissing in France beneath the Paris moon
Well the first thing you know Di gave Chuck the air
Her and Dodi made a real lovely pair
He caressed her tenderly and she didnt have a care
he ran his fingers throught her golden hair
and said her tits looked like little pairs
Anjou, that is
Anjou, France
and kisses sweeter than wine
Well , their wedding would have been a lovely sight
it's too bad that the driver was tight
He drove left but the car went right
into the tunnel in the middle of the night
by the Seine
3 lives down the drain
and the princess screaming in pain
Princess Diana Song (American Pie)
Bye, bye, driver, Dodi and Di
Drove my Merc to the tunnel but paparazzi were nigh
And good old driver was drinking whisky and rye
Singing this'll be the day that we Di
Now Charles thought he was off scot free
But Camilla said "hey, how about me?"
And Will and Harry were sad as can be
The day the Princess died
Bye, bye, driver, Dodi and Di
Drove my Merc to the tunnel but paparazzi were nigh
And good old driver was drinking whisky and rye
Singing this'll be the day that we Di
Now Di died from a broken heart
Earl Spencer tore the press apart
And Elton's song was very smart
But still the people cried
And they were singing:
Bye, bye, driver, Dodi and Di
Drove my Merc to the tunnel but paparazzi were nigh
And good old driver was drinking whisky and rye
Singing this'll be the day that we Di
This'll be the day that we Diiiii.....
