Let's All Go Down the Strand |
| One night, half a dozen tourists |
| Met together in Trafalgar Square |
| A fortnight’s tour on the continent was planned |
| And each had his portmanteau in his hand |
| Down the Rhine, they meant to have a picnic |
| 'Til Jones said, «I must decline |
| You boys have been advised by me, stay away from Germany |
| What’s the good of going down the Rhine?» |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| I’ll be leader, you can march behind |
| Come with me and see what you can find |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| Oh, what a happy land |
| That’s the place for fun and noise |
| All among the girls and boys |
| So let’s all go down the Strand |
| One day, five and twenty convicts |
| Sat in five and twenty little cells |
| The bell then sounded, ding-a-ding-a-dong |
| To exercise the prisoners came along |
| Burglar Ben exclaimed to Jaggs the Warden |
| «To me, sir, it’s very strange |
| The men are tired of going 'round |
| 'Round and 'round the same old ground |
| I propose we make a little change» |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| I’ll be leader, you can march behind |
| Come with me and see what you can find |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| Oh, what a happy land |
| That’s the place for fun and noise |
| All among the girls and boys |
| So let’s all go down the Strand |
| Great crowds gathered round to welcome |
| Shackleton returning from the Pole |
| The Lord Mayor welcomed all the gallant crew |
| And said, «My lads, I’ve got a treat for you |
| Come with me, the Mansion House awaits you |
| A banquet shall be supplied» |
| But a Tar in grumbling mood said, «We don’t want any food» |
| Then he turned to Shackleton and sighed |
| Oh, let’s all go down the Strand |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| I’ll be leader, you can march behind |
| Come with me and see what you can find |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| Oh, what a happy land |
| That’s the place for fun and noise |
| All among the girls and boys |
| So let’s all go down the Strand |
| Oh, let’s all go down the Strand |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| I’ll be leader, you can march behind |
| Come with me and see what you can find |
| Let’s all go down the Strand |
| Oh, what a happy land |
| That’s the place for fun and noise |
| All among the girls and boys |
| So let’s all go down the Strand |
