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 knight
Knights 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 a part
The Captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance
Follow on! 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
