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 scouted 'round in Scarborough

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

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
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
