Dancing With The Moonlit Knight |
| «Can 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 Wimpey 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 'til the Grail sun sets in the mould |
| Follow on 'til 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 apart |
| The 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 diddle loud, loud diddle round |
| Follow on with a twist of the world we go |
| Follow on 'til the gold is cold |
| Dancing out with the moonlit knight |
| Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout |
