Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria! Victoria!
But yeah. "Lick Bore Ee Uh!" might be just as catchy off the bat.

that's good lyrics-- though not as funny as "lola"-- we used to scream it drunk--- i had a friend actually named lola-- none of us knew then the song was about gender panics (or lack thereof).
if wish you read spanish so you could read josé agustín's "de perfil" which is a novel about upper middle class mexican kids from the 60s forming rocanrroll bands-- it's full of innumerable superfunny moments, and the transcription of one of the kids (the narrator i think) mouthing the words of a song in english gave me bellyaches with laughter.
i can't replicate it here because it takes a genius for prose plus you'd have to hear it
from spanish. the closest approximation i could think of is cornholio.
