Mobian Royal Song is the royal anthem of the Mobian Confederation. It's set to the tune of the Brabançonne, the national anthem of Belgium.
Recording of the song, 1970s.
The song was originally just a patriotic song that the Albans would hum at times due to their historical ties with Belgium. Now it's the royal anthem that plays at events in which the King is at attendance. The lyrics were written in the three official languages of the Mobian Confederation and they all end with the same phrase "Our King, our Laws, and Liberty" in reference to the fact that the King was chosen by popular mandate (other choices of King included Joseph Hedgehog, Laurie VIII, Mr. Kite (before it turned out that he was dead and was a communist sympathizer), and Victor V (another member of the House of Lauray)).

Noble Mobius, so beautiful and free,
We swear to protect His Majesty!
May he defend our rights!
And may he keep order!
May he keep Mobius so picturesque
In our indivisible strength!
We'll chant this simple phrase:
Our King, our Laws, and Liberty!

Royal Mobius, Ô mère chère,
Nous servons de protéger Sa Majesté.

Playing the royal anthem backwards while the King is present is considered high treason and will result in a life sentence without parole (execution if the anthem was played backwards on the King's birthday).
