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! |
till the grail sun sets in the mould |
Follow on! |
till 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 & loud, loud & round |
Follow on! |
with a twist of the world we go |
Follow on! |
till the gold is cold |
Dancing out with the moonlit knight |
Knights of the green shield stamp and shout |
