Een "Rooie"(Tijdens de Kroningsfeesten) ("A red [during the coronation celebrations]") is a Dutch monologue ascribed to "M.C.".

The original text

A comic monologue about a fervent young communist who starts off railing against the archaic traditions and the celebrations for the Queen, then slowly becomes converted to the point of singing along with "long live the queen" at the end. Originally performed by Willem van Zuylen and published in his collected works in 1901.
