England swings like a pendulum do
Poppy's own bicycle two by two
England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles two by two
Gazing at the dappled men with dirty ash trays.
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes.
Mama sold pajamas and your papa's mustache
Falling out the window, still frolic in the hash
Trawlin' up the river, stealin' thunder up in Maine
Gazing at the havoc in the very last game.
Mama's old pajamas and your papa's mustache
Falling out the window sill, frolic in the grass
Tryin' to mock the way they talk fun but all in vain
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes.
Mama sold pajamas and your papa's mustache
Falling out the window, still frolic in the hash
Trawlin' up the river, stealin' thunder up in Maine
Gazing at the havoc in the very last game.
Mama's old pajamas and your papa's mustache
Falling out the window sill, frolic in the grass
Tryin' to mock the way they talk fun but all in vain
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes.
Penguin swings like a penguin do
England swings like a pendulum do
The rosy red cheeks of the little chilled wren.
The rosy red cheeks of the little children.
Tryin' to mock the weathercock fun but all in vain
Gazing at the docker men with dirty chow mein
Tryin' to mock the way they talk fun but all in vain
Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes.
West Mister Abby, the tower pig-pen
Westminster Abbey, the Tower, Big Ben
Where's Mr. Abby?
The tower Big Ben
Westminster Abbey
The tower, Big Ben
