Lyrics:

an 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 & Glory
Time goes by - it's '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
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
Captain leads his dance right on through the night
- Join the dance
Follow on ! A 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 & loud, loud & 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
