Lyrics

The Chipmunks:
I'm Henry the Eighth, I am
Henry the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man named Henry
Henry the Eighth, I am!

Second verse, same as the first!

I'm Henry the Eighth, I am
Henry the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man named Henry
Henry the Eighth, I am!

Woo!

I'm Henry the Eighth, I am
Henry the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man named Henry
Henry the Eighth, I am!

H-e-n-r-y
Henry (Henry) Henry (Henry)
Henry the Eighth I am, I am!
Henry the Eighth, I am!
Yeah!
