[Intro] Can you tell me where my country lies? Said the unifaun to his true loves eyes It lies with me! cried the Queen of Maybe For her merchandise, he traded in his prize [Verse 1] Paper late! cried a voice in the crowd Old man dies! The note he left was signed Old Father Thames It seems hes drowned Selling England by the pound [Verse 2] Citizens of Hope and Glory Time goes by, its the time of your life Easy now, sit you down Chewing through your Wimpy dreams They eat without a sound Digesting England by the pound [Verse 3] 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 dont give a damn Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham [Chorus] The Captain leads his dance right on through the night Join the dance [Bridge] Follow on til the Grail sun sets in the mould Follow on til the gold is cold Dancing out with the moonlit knight Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Theres 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 [Chorus] The Captain leads his dance right on through the night Join the dance [Outro] Follow on, a Round Tabletalking down we go Youre the show, off we go with You play the hobbyhorse Ill play the fool Well tease the bull Ringing round diddle loud, loud diddle round Follow on with a twist of the world we go Follow on til the gold is cold Dancing out with the moonlit knight Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout [Instrumental]
