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 fellow that made her reel
Took her rushes to show this 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

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
