Im Henery the Eighth, I Am (also Im Henery the VIII, I Am or Im Henry VIII, I Am; spelled Henery but pronounced Enery in the Cockney style normally used to sing it) is a 1910 British music hall song by Fred Murray and R. P. Weston. It was a signature song of the music hall star Harry Champion. In 1965, it became the fastest-selling song in history to that point when it was revived by Hermans Hermits,becoming the groups second number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The lead solo on the Hermits version was played by the groups lead guitarist Derek Lek Leckenby. In the well-known chorus, Henery explains that his wife had been married seven times before: Im Enery the Eighth, I am, Enery the Eighth I am, I am! I got married to the widow next door, Shes been married seven times before And every one was an Enery She wouldnt have a Willie nor a Sam Im her eighth old man named Enery Enery the Eighth, I am!
