I Was There (At The Coronation) |
| Well let me tell you ladies and gents |
| I enjoyed myself to my hearts content |
| I could not follow the procession |
| But I was there to see the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| I took up my position at Marble Arch |
| From the night before just to see the march |
| The night wind was blowing, freezing and cold |
| But I held my ground like a young creole |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| My stoic stance soon paid dividends |
| For I saw them coming around the bend |
| Then I perceived in all her glory |
| The golden coach with her majesty |
| She was there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| Her majesty looked really divine |
| In her crimson robe, furred with her mind |
| The Duke of Edinburgh dignified and neat |
| Sat besides her as Admiral of the fleet |
| He was there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| One thousand Guardsmen marching ahead |
| Physicians and surgeons all in good stead |
| All the lords of the Admiralty |
| The War Office and the Air Ministry |
| They were there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| Navy, Army, Royal Air Force |
| Chiefs of Staff, United Kingdom of course |
| The Royal Horse Guard we chanced to see |
| Escort of the Household Calvary |
| They were there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| Troops from Dominions and Colonies |
| Australia, New Zealand, and West Indies |
| India, Ceylon, West Africa |
| Newfoundland, Gibraltar, and Canada |
| They were there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| The procession was about 50,000 strong |
| It stretched for much more than 6 miles long |
| Millions of people, all happily |
| Shouting three cheers for her majesty |
| They were there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| As I stood looking, rapturously |
| A feeling of elation came over me |
| I felt what pleasure, such beauty gives |
| I shall never forget as long as I live |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| We were there |
| At the coronation |
| I was there |
| At the coronation |
| Millions there |
| At the coronation |
