Dancing with the Moonlit Knight

[Intro]

"Can you tell me where my country lies?"

Said the unifaun to his true love's eyes

"It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe

For her merchandise, he traded in his prize

[Verse 1]

"Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd

Hmm-hmm, "Old man dies!"

The note he left was signed "Old Father Thames"

It seems he's drowned

Selling England by the pound

[Verse 2]

Citizens of Hope and Glory

Time goes by, it's the time of your life

Easy now, sit you down

Chewing through your Wimpy dreams

They eat without a sound

Digesting England by the pound

[Pre-Chorus]

Young man says, "You are what you eat," eat well

Old man says, "You are what you wear," wear well

You know what you are, you don't give a damn

Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham

[Chorus]

The Captain leads his dance right on

Through the night, join the dance

Follow on till the Grail sun sets in the mould

Follow on till the gold is cold

Dancing out with the moonlit knight

Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a fat old lady outside the saloon

Laying out the credit cards, she plays Fortune

The deck is uneven right from the start

And all of their hands are playing a part

[Chorus]

Captain leads his dance right on

Through the night, join the dance

Follow on, a Round Table-talking down we go

You're the show, off we go with

[Bridge]

You play the hobby-horse, I'll play the fool

We'll tease the bull

Ringing round and loud, loud and round

[Chorus]

Follow on with a twist of the world we go

Follow on till the gold is cold

Dancing out with the moonlit knight

Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout

[Instrumental Outro]
