Fit For a Queen

Yesterday I remarked on how President and Mrs. Obama gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod loaded with songs. I came to find out that they were show tunes. Now, what show tunes would the Queen of England like?

I Just Can't Wait to Be King! You know, from The Lion King? No, that would be a choice from Prince Charles.

Wouldn't It Be Loverly?, from My Fair Lady. To see how the other half lives and dreams, perhaps?

Luck Be A Lady, from Guys and Dolls. For all those ladies in waiting, one might suppose.

Something from Cats? Hey, she could be, in the depths of Buckingham, one of those aging cat ladies we occasionally see.

Rent? Stomp? Not really. Does she pay rent or stomp the yard?

Is Anybody There? From 1776? Oooh, no, no, no. Anything from that may be a tiny bit offensive.

Plant A Radish, maybe, from The Fantasticks? With all the goings on with her kids she might like a reflective tune such as that.

Oh really, now, there must be something...what am I missing?
