Get Down

* Cover
* Performance

**Get Down** is the sixth song of SIX the Musical, and it is Anna of Cleves' solo. It details her life without Henry, and how she is now rich, living in a palace, and doing much better without a man to tell her what to do. She also talks about how she was divorced for not looking like her portrait, but she doesn't *care*.

## Lyrics

**[ANNA OF CLEVES]**

Sittin' here all alone

On a throne

In a palace that I happen to own

Bring me some pheasant, keep it on the bone

Fill my goblet up to the brim

Sippin' on mead and I spill it on my dress

With the gold lace trim

Not very prim and proper

Can't make me stop

I wanna go hunting, any takers?

I'm not fake, 'cause I've got acres and acres

Paid for with my own riches

Where my hounds at? Release the [expletive]s

**[ENSEMBLE]**

Woof

**[ANNA OF CLEVES]**

Everyday

Head back for a round of croquet, yeah

'Cause I'm a player

And tomorrow, I'll hit replay

You

You say that I tricked ya

'Cause I

I didn't look like my profile picture

Too

Too bad I don't agree

So I'm gonna hang it up for everyone to see

And you can't stop me, 'cause

I'm the queen of the castle

Get down, you dirty rascal

Get down, get down

Get down, you dirty rascal

Get down, get down

'Cause I'm the queen of the castle

When I get bored, I go to court

Pull up outside in my carriage

Don't got no marriage

So I have a little flirt with the footman

As he takes my fur

As you were

Making my way to the dance floor

Some boys make an advance, I ignore them

'Cause my jam comes on the lute

Looking cute, das ist gut

All eyes on me, no criticism

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Dance so hard that I'm causing a sensation

Okay ladies, let's get in reformation

You

You say that I tricked ya

'Cause I

I didn't look like my profile picture

Too

Too bad I don't agree

So I'm gonna hang it up for everyone to see

And you can't stop me, 'cause

I'm the queen of the castle

Get down, you dirty rascal

Get down, get down

Get down (you dirty rascal)

Get down, get down

'Cause I'm the queen of the castle

Now I ain't saying I'm a gold digger

But check my prenup, and go figure

Got gold chains

Symbolic of my faith to the higher power

In the fast lane

My horses can trot up to twelve miles an hour

Lemme explain

I'm a Wienerschnitzel, not an English flower

No one tells me I need a rich man

Doin' my thing in my palace in Richmond

You

You say that I tricked ya (tricked ya)

'Cause I (I)

I didn't look like my profile picture (no no)

Too

Too bad I don't agree (too bad I don't agree)

So I'm gonna hang it up (Hang it up, hang it up) for everyone to see

And you can't stop, you can't stop me, 'cause

I'm the queen of the castle

Get down, you dirty rascal

Get down (yeah, c'mon, ha!)

Get down (get down with me)

Get down, you dirty rascal

Get down (this is Anna of Cleves)

(Aha-ha-ha, I get, I get)

Get down (ow!)

'Cause I'm the queen of the castle

## Trivia

* The "woof" line is spoken by the other queens in the live performances, but by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss in the cast recording.
* The "Okay ladies, let's get in reformation" is a reference to Beyonce's song *Formation*, where she sings, "Okay ladies, let's get in formation".
* Cleves interacts with the audience members many times throughout the song in the live performances.
