Peterhouse is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England. It is the oldest college of the university, having been founded in 1284 by Hugo de Balsham, Bishop of Ely and granted its charter by King Edward I. Today, Peterhouse has 226 undergraduates, 86 full-time graduate students and 45 fellows. The modern name of Peterhouse does not include the word "college".
Despite being one of the smallest colleges, it has one of the highest overall endowments, more than £250 million, including property in central London such as the Albany apartment complex in Piccadilly. Peterhouse is one of the most traditional colleges of Cambridge. It is one of the few that still seeks to insist that its members attend communal dinners, known as "Hall". Hall takes place in two sittings, with the second known as "Formal Hall", which consists of a three-course candlelit meal and which must be attended wearing gowns. At Formal Hall, the students rise as the fellows proceed in, a gong is rung, and two Latin graces are read.
[Chorus:]
This Here One Is For The Queens
'cause It's You That Make Me Deh
I Say It's You That Make Me Be
This Is For All The Sweet Dreams
How Much Injustice You Have To Face
Before You I Bow My Knees
[Verse 1:]
How Many Times Your Man Gone
While You Stay Alone With Your Daughters And Sons
How Many Times The Man Hit' And Run'
'cause Responsibility Ha Can't Stand
How Many Times Tell Me How Many Times
You Have To Face Discrimination
How Many Times Tell Me How Many Times
You Get Lick By Your Man
But It Is You That Makes The World Go 'round
Let Nobody Put You Down You Have To Wear The Crown
It Is You That Make The World Go 'round
Know The Value Of Yourself And Let Nobody Put You Down
[Bridge:]
Don't Let Them Tell You Who You Are
Never Ever Bow No No No No
Rise And Take Your Stand
Queens Of This World To You I Dedicate My Song
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Upon Your Shoulders You Carry
So Much Responsibility For This Strayed Humanity
It Is You That Rule Our Destiny
In Your Heart You Bear
All The Future Of This Earth
I Tell You If You Wasn't Here
The End Would Be Near. No Title Of This World Can Give You
Royality Of Birth
You Could Wear Diamonds And Pearls
Into A Queen You Still Can't Be Turned
It's A Profession You Can't Learn
And It's A Title You Can't Earn
All True Born Queens Hold Firm
'cause It's You That Makes The World Go 'round
Make Nobody Put You Down You Have To Wear The Crown
It's You That Makes The World Go 'round
Know The Value Of Yourself And Make Nobody Put You Down
[Bridge:]
Don't Let Them Tell You Who You Are
Never Ever Bow No No No No
Keep You Temple Clean
Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens, Queens
