The Paper-Hat Brigade 1935

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 09 May 2002

Boys and Girls come out to play
We'll have a Jubilee today
First a King and then a Queen
In the Alley will be seen.
Johnny Smith will wear a crown
Mary Ann a paper gown
All the rest with faces clean
Will march with the Tin Can Army.

We're The PaperHat Brigade
In our paper hats arrayed
Our little tin drums are biscuit tins
In the PaperHat Brigade.
On the Jubilee Parade
Tho' we don't wear silver braid
We march along to a cheery song
We're The PaperHat Brigade.
With wooden swords we all salute
While the drums go ratatattat
As the King goes by in his Sunday Suit
He grins and lifts his hat
Even P'licemen say O.K.
You can have your day today
We shout 'Hear Hear' then a mighty cheer
From The PaperHat Brigade.

We're The PaperHat Brigade
In our paper hats arrayed
Our little tin drums are biscuit tins
In the PaperHat Brigade.
On the Jubilee Parade
Tho' we don't wear silver braid
We march along to a cheery song
We're The PaperHat Brigade.
With wooden swords we all salute
While the drums go ratatattat
As the King goes by in his Sunday Suit
He grins and lifts his hat
Even P'licemen say O.K.
You can have your day today
We shout 'Hear Hear' then a mighty cheer
From The PaperHat Brigade.

Boys and Girls come out to play
Let's make the Alley bright and gay
Bring your tin cans and your sticks
In the Band then you can play
Someone's shirt Red White and Blue
Once a Football Club it knew
In the breeze you'll see it sway
The Flag of The Tin Can Army.

We're The PaperHat Brigade
In our paper hats arrayed
Our little tin drums are biscuit tins
In the PaperHat Brigade.
On the Jubilee Parade
Tho' we don't wear silver braid
We march along to a cheery song
We're The PaperHat Brigade.
With wooden swords we all salute
While the drums go ratatattat
As the King goes by in his Sunday Suit
He grins and lifts his hat
Even P'licemen say O.K.
You can have your day today
We shout 'Hear Hear' then a mighty cheer
From The PaperHat Brigade.
