The Duke of Iron:

Now, it's love, love alone That cause King Edward to leave his throne

Chorus:	It's love, love alone That cause King Edward to leave his throne
The Duke of Iron:	Yes, we know Edward is noble and great But love will cause him to abdicate Oh, what a sad disappointment Was endured by the British government On the 10th of December, we heard the talk That he gave the throne to the Duke of York He said, "I'm sorry my mother is going to grieve But I cannot help, I'm bound to leave" Yes, we got the money, we got the talk And the fancy walk to just to suit New York "And if I can't get a boat to set me free Well, I will walk to Miss Simpson across the sea Scepter, robes and my crown is on my mind But I cannot leave Miss Simpson behind"
Lord Invader:	And if you see Miss Simpson walk in the street She can fall an angel with her body beat Oh, how Baldwin tried to break down his plan He said, "Come what may the American"
The Duke of Iron:	"Yea, they can take my crown, they can take my throne But they must leave Miss Simpson and me alone" Oh, let the organ roll, let the church bell ring Good luck to our second bachelor king
Lord Invader:	Though he is gone, don't give him bad name For you and I might have done the same
Macbeth the Great:	Aspersion on Simpson, they try to cast They even said that she had a shady past
The Duke of Iron:	Now on the annals of history He has left a record for intensity
