Dutiful Gloucester<\/strong>
\nsung to the tune of “Beautiful Monster” by Ne-Yo<\/p>\n

(For Janai…)<\/p>\n

In your life,
\nAs Lord Protector,
\nYou aim to serve
\n\u2018Till the king\u2019s grown.<\/p>\n

But your wife,
\nSo ambitious,
\nWants to see
\nYou ascend the throne.<\/p>\n

But, I don\u2019t mind.
\nIn fact, I like it.
\nI can use her pride,
\nAnd I\u2019ll bring her down with you.<\/p>\n

Oh!<\/p>\n

Duke of Gloucester,
\nDutiful Gloucester,
\nDutiful Gloucester,
\nMust fall behind.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll use her.
\nYes, I\u2019ll use her.
\nDutiful Gloucester
\nMust fall behind.<\/p>\n

Must fall behind (fall behind, fall, must fall behind),
\nMust fall behind (fall behind, fall, must fall behind),
\nMust fall behind (fall behind, fall, must fall behind),
\nMust fall behind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let her cast
\nHer magical spells.
\nHer true heart
\nWill shine right through.<\/p>\n

But, I don\u2019t mind.
\nIn fact, I like it.
\nI can use her pride,
\nAnd I\u2019ll bring her down with you.<\/p>\n

Duke of Gloucester (Duke of Gloucester),
\nDutiful Gloucester (dutiful Gloucester),
\nDutiful Gloucester (dutiful Gloucester),
\nMust fall behind (fall behind).<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll use her (and I\u2019ll use her),
\nYes, I\u2019ll use her (yes, I will use her),
\nDutiful Gloucester (dutiful Gloucester),
\nMust fall behind (fall behind, must fall behind),
\nMust fall behind.<\/p>\n

And she\u2019ll show her heart,
\nAnd you\u2019ll be much maligned.<\/p>\n

Fall behind, and you’ll fall behind.
\nFall behind, and you’ll fall behind.
\nFall behind, and you’ll fall behind.
\nFall behind, and you’ll fall behind.<\/p>\n

You’ll fall behind!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
