Lyrics
Went to the museum this morning 
To see if anybody was there 
On the way I met a clockwork soldier 
Who stopped me as I walked up the stairs 

I said can you show me the way 
To our national history museum 
I've got so many questions 
To ask all the people, about our history 

He said Son you must be crazy 
You better get out of here 
This is establishment territory 
The likes of us should never go near 

I said please won't you let me see 
Inside your mausoleum 
I've got so many questions to ask all the people 
About our history 

Alright, alright 
Alright, alright, alright 
Alright, alright 
Alright, alright, alright 

I walked past the dummies in armour 
Past the statues and the heraldry 
I walked past the maps and the manuscripts 
Into antiquity 

And then I saw King Arthur 
He was waving his sword at me 
Shouting hey son come see, join our party 
See some history 

Then a sight lay before me 
I could hardly believe my eyes 
Lord Nelson, Queen Victoria, King Henry and Thomas Moore 
Were dancing around on the floor 

I hope I get some of the answers 
To all of my inquiries 
And I hope I find out who's responsible 
For all of our history 

Richard III stood laughing 
While King Canute sat drying his feet 
And Cromwell shook hands with Boadicea 
While Dr. Johnson and Queen Bess danced cheek to cheek 

Newton sat writing a poem 
And Shakespeare sat writing a play 
I tried to have look to see what he wrote in his book 
But he just turned his back and walked away 

I didn't get any answers 
And it's still a mystery 
What became of all of the people 
That vanished in history 

Alright, alright 
Alright, alright, alright 
Alright, alright 
Alright, alright, alright 

History 

And it keeps on calling me 
Through the cobwebs and catacombs 
and dusty old tombs 
Surrounding our history 

History 
History
