Thirty-seven steps

I'm thirty-seven steps from the queen
And by that fact I don't mean
That I'm next in line for throne
That I would never want it at all
Instead I'll leave to her - the queen

I'm thirty-seven steps from the queen
Through marriage and genealogy you see
Someone back in my father's past
Married a German princess
and made their own line - the queen

I'm thirty-seven steps from the queen
Although it may sound obscene
We're completely different lines
And there's no way I'll ever dine
On caviar and champagne with the queen

I'm thirty-seven steps from the queen
However romantic that seems
People ask why I'm a royalist
I say, I'm not, just a nationalist
As in Scottish, because she Scottish - the queen

I'm thirty-seven steps from the queen
But I'm not going to turn green
Envy is not something I have for her life
With all the publicity, all the strife
I'd never want to be her - the queen

I'm thirty-seven steps from the queen
And I respect the elderly woman so keen
With eyes like daggers and a heart of steel
If Donald Trump was British - he'd kneel
That is what makes our queen.

I'm thirty-seven steps from the queen
She's bold, she's old, sweet and mean
Though the monarchy is a little outdated
And they get our money while their estated
I'll always respect the small woman in hats - the queen
