In The Peace of Westphalia (Sung to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)
by Dani DeWeese (Euro 2012)
In the Peace of Westphalia
It ended all the frays
On the battlefield where the 30 years war took place
Chillin out France and relaxing all cool
Made the Roman Emperor look like a fool
When a couple of royals who were up to no good
Started causing trouble in the neighborhood
They got in one huge fight and Ferdinand got scared
He said we’re moving these protestants up on out of here
So he whistled for reinforcements and when they got there
If anything he could tell that these people were the worst for wear
But he thought eh forget it why despair
He rolled up to the battlefield about 1648 and lost the battle
The French yelled out ‘Yo Ferdinand smell you later!’
Looked at the treaty they were finally there
Though no one agreed it was totally fair
