Lyrics:

At last the crimson chord cascades
To shower dry cordials within
Too late to leap the chocolate gate
(Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin)

While destiny prepares to fly
The farmyard chorus sings its wake
Upstanding anthem to the sky
(Too soon to realize their fate)

You were the raven of October (It's all, it's all)
I knew the sign you flew around (It's all, it's all)
Up in the air so high above me
Never needed to look down

I never thought I'd be a rover
I didn't even look around
But now I know you've found another
So will someone please find me

Give now the host his claret cup
And watch Madeira's farewell drink
Note his reaction acid sharp
Should make the cognoscenti think
