Herman's Hermits - I'm Henry VIII, I Am Lyrics

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before

And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am

Second verse same as the first

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before

And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)

I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am
H-E-N-are-why
Henry (Henry) Henry (Henry)
Henry the eighth I am, I am
Henry the eighth I am yeah

Saw him in concert in Santa Cruz during the summer (they're free on Fridays) and this is one song you don't get tired of in the concert because he brings such energy to it.

As a Yank, this song was very beneficial to me when studying British history in school.

Judy is a punk...

Found my funeral troll song :)

Well they were right... the chipping away of our social standards with things like shaggy haircuts and decapitating several wives has led us to bath salts, gulags, and Megan Thee Stallion

I don't know why, but I really like this. A good ole Cockney Singalong sung with a Lancashire accent which top the charts in the USA

My name's not henry

My history teacher played that for me and that song just sucked in my head for a whole day

Believe it or not, this is a cover of a 1910 song by Harry Champion.

A BOP!!!

My girl is English and we just had healthy baby boy, and have been singing this until we have 8 kids name ‘Enery

They don't make music like this anymore!!!😊😊😊

Harry Champion's 1911 original is a lot better.

My mother once sang it for a camp play...

Did anyone else sing this at school..? 😆

笑った後のスン…てやめろw

Ennery the 8th. December 2019. Rock on!

ennery the eighth i am

Starwars worm, joppa

Monsoon

4.0-2.0=half

This is actually one of Malcom McDowell's first home movies.

God I feel old. I remember when this came out in 45rpm

He reminds me to Pennywise the Clown

This sucks in a creepy way

learnt this for primary school, legit thought "willy or a sam" was a euthanism for cock or fanny until now

Sounds better in 1.25 speed

0:59...

Oh my....😎😎

Im Henry the 8th I am! 😁 I love hermans hermits!😁😀😉

A more innocent time.

......... I'm so sad my headphones are broke right now. I can't hear a word :'( just watching his smiles adorable though omg!!!!!

Funny. It could have been used to lampoon some or all of his other marriages, maybe that would have been too shocking for a 1965 audience?

Holy hell those guys were toothpicks! But they played their own instruments, which is more than you can say for current pop musicians.

Your not Henry,your a twat.

No.you are a wanker.just look at this prick.some soft cunt said they were bigger than the Beatles.

As a kid I always thought of the king, but now im starting to think it's probably about a guy named Henry getting married to a crazy serial killer whos killed her last 7 husbands, all named Henry

Are there any guys out there who sang this to get a girl to go out with them?

It seems like a poor choice. How about "Besame Mucho" instead?

This music appeals to a lower-tier mentality.

Yeah, them too.

Did every band then look exactly like the Beatles, or what@?

Peter noone original dick sucker

... what a cute & funny guy!!

I loved this song a kid, but learning that this replaced The Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" at the top of the chart seems almost criminal.

What a big pile of shit ...

Never did I ever fantasized of Conan O'Brien cuss out Peter Noone; it's all about when Peter Noone sung and performed 'Sleepy Joe,' Unbelievable isn't it!

Fun song but i hate almost all of their faces. Very unappealing

watched this in history class and i’ve never looked back

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am

He has lego hair

The start with the first few beats, it seemed like the Shrek Meme....

am i the only one who sees a black widow here? 7 henrys all dead....shes a friggin serial killer who hates people named henry....run for your life dude! and Happy Halloween!

This song is just fun for fun's sake !

I've always liked how when he spells it out at the end, he actually is aware of the fact that Henry begins with an "H," despite how he pronounces it.

Patrick Swayze in Ghost singing this song! lol

Wife and I saw Peter and his band , he named it Herman's Hermits. At the Apache Casino in Lawton OK last August. He sounded the same did all of his hits and a few other British Invasion songs. Yes he looks older but not as old as me and we're the same age. Women in their 60's and 70's went wild.

Horrible histories led me here

Who was herman then ?

This song came out just before I was born but my sister had the 45. I played it over and over when I was a little kid. I still love it!!

Hair like that just gets on my damn nerves.

He's got that cheeky look like, I'm selling you a really cheap song, one verse repeated three times, and y'all are BUYING it! And we did buy it :D

This is my favorites song that plays at work, I always sing along 😆

Entirely pointless and overly gay.

I'm sure that's not Henry VIII... 😂

Is the lead singer mentally or physically challenged?

Enery the I am.

i am happy to see this XD

Sounds like Robin Gibb

GHOST !!!!

LMAO!! He reminds me of Terrence & Phillip

This has to be one of the greatest songs of the entire rock era. It has a real appeal and sense of humor about it.

Another shit song that makes no sense😝

Harry champion has a better version of this song.

This record actually fought with The Rolling Stone's "Satisfaction" for #1 back in Summer of 1965.

Mac Demarco just fucking sang this in toronto yesterday

Stupid fucking song

He has the permanent expression of Charlie Bucket discovering Willy Wonka's golden ticket.

This guy just looks so happy

My cousin is named Henry

They look like the Beatles

I remember my dad driving my sister and her friend to see them. in St. Louis about 1966.

I didn’t know Bill Hader was in this

Great Song

Love your video

My mom used to play this for me when I was little and I just remembered it so of course I’m happy I found it

Rolling Stones: Paint it black.
Herman's Hermits:

Stop singing that song! We all know who you are!

Peter Noone is remarkable , he is extremely smart with near total recall and is extraordinarily business/musical savvy .
Not in the least goofy like this video portrays him , but he is good natured and friendly

he was a little CUtey!

Watched in grade 8 before

Seems a bit odd that right at the time you've got the Beatles Help and Rubber Soul album about, someone decides that a pop band needs to dig up an Edwardian musical number that's already well over 50 years old.

They also did a cover of a George Gershwin 1930 song, "Biding My Time". Remember, too, that the Beatles released a cover of a 1927 song, "Ain't She Sweet" and the 1957 "Til There Was You". The demand for music of the British invasion was so incredible that producers and record companies pushed for much more content than groups could originate. These four songs did well on the charts and have held up pretty well as oldies.

Ghost message from sam

lmao to this in 2019

This is the only rock and roll song, my dad ever liked or enjoyed. That's why I remember it so well

Why you cheeky devil 🇬🇧

the follow up song should have been Henry the ninth
