"Can you tell me where my country lies "

Said the unifaun to his true love's eyes

"It lies with me " cried the Queen of Maybe

For her merchandise he traded in his prize

"Paper late " cried a voice in the crowd

"Old man dies " The note he left was signed

'Old Father Thames'

It seems he's drowned;

Selling england by the pound

Citizens of Hope and Glory

Time goes by it's "the time of your life"

Easy now sit you down

Chewing through your Wimpey dreams

They eat without a sound;

Digesting england by the pound

Young man says "you are what you eat" eat well

Old man says "you are what you wear" wear well

You know what you are you don't give a damn;

Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham

The Captain leads his dance right on through the night

Join the dance

Follow on Till the Grail sun sets in the mould

Follow on Till the gold is cold

Dancing out with the moonlit night

Nights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

There's a fat old lady outside the saloon;

Laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune

The deck is uneven right from the start;

And all of their hands are playing apart

The Captain leads his dance right on through the night

Join the dance

Follow on A Round Table-talking down we go

You're the show

Off we go with You play the hobbyhorse

I'll play the fool

We'll tease the bull

Ringing round and loud loud and round

Follow on With a twist of the world we go

Follow on Till the gold is cold

Dancing out with the moonlit knight

Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout
