Lyrics:

In a village in old Siam, sir
Lived a lady who lost her way
In an effort to find a man, sir
She found herself in the old U.K

She waited 'round in Walthamstow
She scouted 'round in Scarborough
She waited 'round in Walthamstow
She skated 'round in Scarborough

In a village in old East Ham, sir
She met a fellow who made her reel
Took her rushes to show his mam, sir
Met his dad at the wedding meal


In a letter from old Siam, sir
Came a terrible tale of woe
She decided the only answer
Was to get up a pile of dough

She waited 'round in Walthamstow
She scouted 'round in Scarborough
She waited 'round in Walthamstow
She scouted 'round in Scarborough

When a relative told her man, sir
He directed her not to stay
In a village in old Siam, sir
Lives a lady who lost her way

A lady who lost her way

In a village in old Siam, sir
Lived a lady who lost her way
In an effort to find a man, sir
She found herself in the old U.K

She waited 'round in Walthamstow
She scouted 'round in Scarborough
She waited 'round in Walthamstow
She scouted 'round in Scarborough

In a village in old Siam, sir
Lived a lady who lost her way
In an effort to find a man, sir
She found herself in the old U.K
Walthamstow
Scarborough
