Long ago life was clean
|
Sex was bad and obscene
|
And the rich were so mean
|
Stately homes for the Lords
|
Croquet lawns, village greens
|
Victoria was my queen
|
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
|
|
I was born, lucky me
|
In a land that I love
|
Though I am poor, I am free
|
When I grow I shall fight
|
For this land I shall die
|
Let her sun never set
|
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
|
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, toria
|
|
Land of hope and gloria
|
Land of my Victoria
|
Land of hope and gloria
|
Land of my Victoria
|
Victoria, 'toria
|
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
|
|
Canada to India
|
Australia to Cornwall
|
Singapore to Hong Kong
|
From the West to the East
|
From the rich to the poor
|
Victoria loved them all
|
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
|
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria
|
