Six young farmer chaps
came up to London Town;
They meant to see the sights,
and stop out late at nights.
When they arrived at Euston,
they all seemed a bit in doubt
not a single one amongst them
knew his way about.
One bought a coloured map of London,
they studied it for
quite an hour or two.
Till one wiry whiskered farmer
shouted out,
"I'll tell you what we'll do."

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!

Six nice burglar gents
came out of jail one day,
on each one you could trace
a sad and gloomy face.
Said one they'd christened "Venus"
as he wiped his heated brow,
"We've left our country mansion, boys,
where shall we go to now?"
Bill Blobbs looked at his empty pockets,
and said, "They used to hold some rhino once.
I know what we'd better do, lads,
as we haven't seen a purse for months.

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!

Six young monkeys
that were living in the zoo,
escaped from there one day,
they all got right away.
For hours and hours
they sat upon the trees
in Regents Park
throwing nuts at people,
then they climbed down after dark.
Then they all held a little meeting.
Said one old monkey,
"Now what's to be done?
We can't go back into our cages,
so if we want to have a bit of fun.

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!

Six young soldier lads
were miles away from home
upon a foreign strand,
amongst the desert sand,
they'd been there for weeks
and weeks as lonely as could be.
nothing but the moon and stars
to keep them company.
One morning five and twenty black girls
passed along and said to them,
"Good day!"
Then young Colour Sergeant Smith said,
as those Zulu belles went on their way.

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!

Let's go where all the crowd goes
for where the crowd goes,
it's always happy, bright
and gay and merry.
Form in line,
put your arm in mine,
follow the crowd
and we're all right!
