I've swept the floors of all my kings
|
I've opened doors and let the tourists in
|
Days of wine and roses
|
Prime ministers, red robes
|
These days are gone
|
|
I've stood on guard as my Queens were born
|
|
I've cut the grass on many English lawns
|
|
Of strawberries and ice cream
|
Of cricket and cold beer
|
|
These days
|
London Tower's burning. Parliament's ablaze
|
Buckingham Palace has gone
|
Somewhere in the distance my darling she's a crying
|
I should be by her side
|
|
This is the day the ravens left the tower
|
This is the day the ravens fly away
|
|
Fly away, fly away.
|
Fly away, fly away.
|
Fly away
|
|
I've stood on the Changing of the Guards
|
To the Bloody Tower watching the Crown Jewels
|
A penny for the guy sir?
|
Will you vote left or right?
|
These days
|
|
London Bridge is falling.
|
St. Pauls Cathedral bums
|
The tower blocks are gone
|
Somewhere in the distance my darlings she's a crying
|
I should be by her side.
|
|
This is the day the ravens left the tower
|
|
This is the day the ravens fly away
|
|
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
|
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
|
Fly away, fly away (fly away)
|
Fly away, fly away
|
|
And if I live to see the dawning of the day
|
I hope I'm in your arms as we get swept away
|
|
Oh darling I will be home soon
|
Darling I will be home soon
|
|
(Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies
|
Atishoo, Atishoo, we all fall down)
|
