"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 you wimpey dreams they eat without a sound
disgesting 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 home-made sham
The captain leads his
Dance right on through the night
join the dance
Follow on till the grail sunset in the mould
Follow on till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlight knight
Knight soft the greenshield stamp and shout
There's a fat old lady outside the saloon
Laying out a credit card she plays fortune
The desk is uneven right from the start
All of their hands are playing apart
the captain leads his
Dance right on through the night
join the dance
Follow on, around table talking down we go
You're the show, off we go
with you play the bobby horse,
I'll play the fool, we'll tease the dull… ring… ing
Round and round round and round
Follow on, will a twist of the world we go
Follow on till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlight knight
Knight soft the greenshield stamp and shout
