They're sending the bill to Buckingham Palace

They're sending the bill* to Buckingham Palace

with apologies to A.A. Milne

They're sending the bill to Buckingham Palace -
Christopher and Robin are planning their marriage.
Alice is writing her best woman's speech
"A writer's life is sometimes a peach"
                                     Says Alice.


They're sending the bill to Buckingham Palace -
Alice and Robyn can raise the romance.
"A double marriage along with the queens,
Just as soon as the bill is signed by the Queen"
                                     Says Alice.


They're sending the bill to Buckingham Palace -
But Christabel Robyn still needs equal marriage
The love of her life first married her as a man
The lost years are not in this government plan,
                                     Says Alice.

They're sending the bill to Buckingham Palace
And soon it will pass near Holyrood Palace.
But up Stormont's Hill the dinosaurs play,
But the DUP will lose this one day,
                                     Says Alice.
