Yes, we must be protocoligorically correct
Good form must never suffer from neglect
The rules and regulations we respect
Must be treated circumspect
Else the kingdom will be wrecked
We've a system to protect
Checked and double checked and protocoligorically correct

When it's army is battered and broken
And back to it's borders it crawls
To what clings a tottering kingdom
If not to it's protocols

And when the treasure is tapped of it's treasures
Are the tapestries stripped from the walls?
No, the court carries on with it's pleasures
Inquisitions and banquets and balls

But they must be protocoligorically correct
Good form must never suffer from neglect
The rules and regulations we respect
Must be treated circumspect
Else the kingdom will be wrecked
We've a system to protect
Checked and double checked and protocoligorically correct

If the daughter of the Duchess of Snodden
Were to be seated by the Countess of Sneed
For this breach of decorum to Snodden
The invasion of Sneed would proceed
And seek the heiress to the barony of Neuburg
By the side of her hated cousin, Gwenn
Oh, how quickly the armies of Neuburg
Would deploy to destroy us again

So we must be protocoligorically correct
Good form must never suffer from neglect
The rules and regulations we respect
Must be treated circumspect
Else the kingdom will be wrecked
We've a system to protect
Checked and double checked and protocoligorically correct

So we must be protocoligorically correct
Good form must never suffer from neglect
The rules and regulations we respect
Must be treated circumspect
Else the kingdom will be wrecked
We've a system to protect
Checked and double checked and protocoligorically correct

Protocol! Protocol! Protocol!
Above all! Above all! Above all!
Makes a kingdom rise or fall

So we must be protocoligorically correct
Good form must never suffer from neglect
The rules and regulations we respect
Must be treated circumspect
Else the kingdom will be wrecked
We've a system to protect
Checked and double checked and protocoligorically correct!
