Let's All Go Down the Strand (2012 Remaster) - Blur

One night

Half a dozen tourists met together in Trafalgar Square

A fourth nights tour on the continent was planned

And each had his portmento in his hand

Down the Rhine they ment to have a picnic

To Joan siad I must decline

The boys are being advised by me

Stay away from Germany

What's the good of going down the Rhine

Let's all go down the strand

Let's all go down the strand

I'll be leader You can march behind

Come with me and see what you can find

Let's all go down the strand

Oh what a happy land

That's the place for fun and noise

All amoung the girls and boys

So let's all go down the strand

One day 5 and 20 convicts

Satted by their 20 little cells

The bell then sounded ding-a-ding-a-dong

To exercise the prisoners came along

Buggler Ben exclaimed to Jacks The Warden

To me sir It's very strange

The men are tired of going round

Round and round the same old ground

I purpose we make a little change

Let's all go down the strand

Let's all go down the strand

I'll be leader You can march behind

Come with me and see what you can find

Let's all go down the strand

Oh what a happy land

That's the place for fun and noise

All amoung the girls and boys

So let's all go down the strand

Gray crowds gathered round to welcome

Shackleton returning from the poll

The Lord Mayor welcomed all the galant crew

And said my lads I've got a treat for you

Come with me The mansion house awaits you

A banquet shall be supplied

But a towering grumbling mood

Said we don't want any food

Then he turned to Shackleton and sighed

Let's all go down the strand

Let's all go down the strand

I'll be leader You can march behind

Come with me and see what you can find

Let's all go down the strand

Oh what a happy land

That's the place for fun and noise

All amoung the girls and boys

So let's all go down the strand

Let's all go down the strand

Let's all go down the strand

I'll be leader You can march behind

Come with me and see what you can find

Let's all go down the strand

Oh what a happy land

That's the place for fun and noise

All amoung the girls and boys

So let's all go down the strand
