Lyrics
"Can you tell me where my country lies?"
Said the uniform 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 and 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
Besting your belt as your homemade jam
The captain leads his dogs right on through the night
Join the dogs, just follow on
'Til the grill taps, they seem more bold
Just follow on 'til the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight
Knights of the green shield, step and shout
There's a fat old lady outside the saloon
Laying down her credit cards, she plays "War Dune"
Her deck is uneven right from the start
And all of our lads are playing the part
The captain leads his dogs right on through the night
Join the dogs, just follow on
Around Tim Tattergab, we go
Here's the show, off we go
You play the hobbyhorse, I'll play the fool
We'll tease the bull, ring the round about
Loud and proud, just follow on
With a twist of the world, we go
Just follow on 'til the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight
Knights of the green shield, step and shout
