16 ME Quartet (Besiie, Jill, Big Ben, Long Tom) 1902 'Merrie England'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 17 Apr 2003

[Ben and Tom:] In England,
Merrie England,
[Jill:] In England,
Merrie England,
[Bessie:] In England,
Merrie England,
Merrie England..
[Tom:] There lived a King
upon a time to tell his name
might be a crime,
[All:] In England, Merrie England!
[Tom:] But he sometimes
did doff his crown and
walk abroad like any clown.
[All:] In England,
Merrie England,
In England,
Merrie England,
[Tom:] And if he met
a pretty wench
(and maids are fairer
than the French)
[All:] In England,
Merrie England,
[Tom:] He'd kiss her,
as an Englishman
should kiss a maiden
when he can.
[All:] So let us sing
God Save The King of England
Merrie England!
With a fal la la la
for Bluff King Hal,
With a fal la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la
la fal la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
With a fal lal lal
for Bluff King Hal
With a fal la la la
la la la la la
fal la la la la la la
fal la la la
With a fal la lal
For Bluff King Hal of England,
Merrie England.
