I know a good song by MontyP though.
Hmm, I'd like to hear it but i doubt it will do. Come on! Someone must have jokes about Cromwell...!
The Oliver Cromwell Song

[Spoken]
The most interesting thing about King Charles the First is that he was five
feet six inches tall at the start of his reign,
but only four foot eight inches tall at the end of it. Because of...

[Sung unless otherwise indicated]

Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England
(Puritan)
Born in 1599 and died in 1658
(September)
Was at first
(Only)
MP for Huntingdon
(But then)
He led the Ironside Cavalry at Marston Moor, in 1664 and won
Then he founded the New Model Army
And praise be! beat the Cavaliers at Nazeby
And the King fled up north like a bat! to the Scots

[Spoken]

But under the terms of John Pym's solemn league and covenant, the Scots
handed King Charles the First, over to...

[Sung u.o.i]

Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England
(And his warts)
Born in 1599 and died in 1658
(September)
But, alas!
(shouted: OY VEY!)
Disagreement then broke out
(spoken: Between)
The Presbyterian Parliament and the military who meant to have an independent
bent and so
The Second Civil War broke out
And the Roundhead ranks faced the Cavaliers at Preston, Lancs
And the King lost again, silly thing
(Stupid git)

[Spoken]

And Cromwell sent Colonel Pride to purge the House of Commons of the
Presbyterian Royalists, leaving behind only the Rump Parliament

[Sung]

Which appointed a High Court at Westminster Hall
To indict Charles the First of - tyranny (ooh)
Charles was sentenced to death, even though her refused to accept
That the court had - jurisdiction (say goodbye to his head)

Poor King Charles laid his head on the block
(spoken: January 1649)
Down came the axe, and...

[Spoken]

In the silence that followed the only sound that could be heard was the
solitary giggle, of...

[Sung, u.o.i]

Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England
(shouted: OLE!)
Born in 1599 and died in 1658
(September)
Then he smashed
(shouted in Irish accent: IRELAND!)
Set up the Commonwealth
(shouted: AND MORE!)
He crushed the Scots at Worcester, and beat the Dutch at sea in 1653 and then
He dissolved the Rump Parliament
And with Lambert's consent wrote the instrument of Government
Under which Oliver was Protector at last - THE END!!!
lol!

O dear! O good God. Oh.... Jesus Christ. That was so bad it hurt... But hurt in a good way, so it was good.

Why? Because I want to make my history teacher laugh. He's a comically dull kindof guy.


EDIT: On second thought the Ol-iv-er look one could do, how to incorporate that into a class-type conversation will be tricky though...
