what a pity...about chuck and diane
two a-marryin' kids growin' up in the queen's land
chuckie's gonna be the throne's next star
diane only wants to be...in chuckie's heart

suckin' up to the queen
but she will not unfreeze
diane's sick of ol' queenie's crap
she'd like to bring her to her knees

chuckie say, hey diane
don't screw up, we'll run the company
don't give her those nasty looks
just try to act pleased

and chuckie say :
oh yeah...life goes on
long after my wife, the princess, is gone
oh yeah...life goes on
long after my wife, the princess, is gone...mourn on

chuckie's held back
he won't be king at the moment
scratches his head, he's pissed off...at the queen
well, you know, diane, we oughta run this whole country
diane says, baby, you'll never be king

and chuckie say :
oh yeah...life goes on
long after my wife, the princess, is gone
oh yeah...life goes on
long after my wife, the princess, is gone...mourn on

gonna be a shock
when he's told
paparazzi chased her down
the damn car rolled
chuck's mom will be queen
as long as she can
changes won't be here real soon
chuck's a heartbroken man

what a pity...about chuck and diane
two a-marryin' kids, screwin' their best-laid plans
