Kings and Queens

[JudgeJ]

I learnt a rhyme when at school which named the monarchs of England from 1066 to the present day. It started: "Willy, Willy, Henry, Stee, Henry, Dick, John Henry Three". It finishes "George, Edward, George again, Elizabeth the Second, long may she reign". Unfortunately I have forgotten the large chunk in the middle, namely the bit covering the 28 or so rulers from Edward I to Edward VII. Has anybody else heard of this ditty and could, perhaps, provide the missing chunk?

Willie, Willie, Harry, Stee,
Harry, Dick, John, Harry Three,
One-To-Three Neds, Richard Two,
Harrys Four-Five-Six... then who?

Edwards Four-Five, Dick the Bad,
Harrys (twain), Ned Six (the lad),
Mary, Bessie, James you ken,
Then Charlie, Charlie, James again...

Will & Mary, Anne of gloria,
Georges ( 4! ), Will Four, Victoria,
Edward Seven next, and then
Came George the Fifth in 1910...

Ned the Eighth soon abdicated,
So George Six was coronated,
Then Number Two Elizabeth...
And that's all, folks (until her death...)
