The painter was dismissed today   We paid him off and put him away   He'd drawn us true to life and then   He'd just refused to do it again      For we were not amused at all   To see a painting upon the wall   Which clearly showed what fools were we   To jealously guard a pedigree      We were all so very concerned   To see the commoners never learned   That inter-breeding could be blamed   For the decline of the regal brain      Indeed the blood was truly blue   But thinner with time, alas, we knew   Now we are all a little insane   And life can never be the same      Mister Goya, we all declare   Was most unkind and very unfair   To paint us in the way he did   As if the royals had lost their lids      Damn it all, the family pets   Were made to look a safer bet   Because we give a regal hoot   Somebody always cocks a snoot
