Lyrics

[00:01.24] "Can you tell me where my country lies?"
[00:05.85] said the unifaun to his true love's eyes.
[00:11.70] "It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe
[00:16.34] - for her merchandise, he traded in his prize.
[00:26.16] "Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd.
[00:34.58] "Old man dies!" The note he left was signed 'Old Father Thames'
[00:41.77] - it seems he's drowned;
[00:45.23] selling england by the pound.
[00:54.30] Citizens of Hope & Glory,
[00:57.37] Time goes by - it's "the time of your life".
[01:03.39] Easy now, sit you down.
[01:07.56] Chewing through your Wimpey dreams,
[01:11.67] they eat without a sound;
[01:16.12] digesting england by the pound.
[01:32.05] Young man says "you are what you eat" - eat well.
[01:39.42] Old man says "you are what you wear" - wear well.
[01:47.72] You know what you are, you don't give a damn;
[01:55.08] bursting your belt that is your homemade sham.
[02:00.53] The Captain leads his dance right on through the night
[02:07.55] - join the dance...
[02:09.15] Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould.
[02:15.44] Follow on! Till the gold is cold.
[02:18.75] Dancing out with the moonlit knight,
[02:21.54] Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout.
[03:53.03] There's a fat old lady outside the saloon;
[03:58.48] laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune.
[04:04.54] The deck is uneven right from the start;
[04:10.43] and all of their hands are playing apart.
[04:14.43] The Captain leads his dance right on through the night
[04:21.34] - join the dance...
[04:22.90] Follow on! A Round Table-talking down we go.
[04:27.93] You're the show!
[04:29.30] Off we go with - You play the hobbyhorse,
[04:32.98] I'll play the fool.
[04:34.66] We'll tease the bull
[04:35.98] ringing round & loud, loud & round.
[04:39.63] Follow on! With a twist of the world we go.
[04:44.24] Follow on! Till the gold is cold.
[04:48.21] Dancing out with the moonlit knight,
[04:50.75] Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout.
