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 Wimpy 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 a part
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
