COMMONWEALTH FAIR (Flanders & Swan?) We introduce a note of topicalia, inter alia. And I think one of the subjects most topical at the moment in all our minds is the subject of the commonwealth. The commonwealth, and whether England should leave it or not. We have a song about the commonwealth, it's called 'Commonwealth Fair', I think you'll recognise the music, the words are pretty familiar, too. We'd like to sing you a commonwealth song, All-along, down-along, round-along, lee, There isn't much of it, it won't take us long, Without Eire, South Africa, and probably India, Tanzania, Singapore, Old Southern Rhodesia and all, old Southern Rhodesia and all. The commonwealth hasn't much meaning today, All-about, turn-about, round-about, lee, Except for the few who're still willing to play, Like Australia, New Zealand and Canada: Well, that's about the lot, really. And that doesn't include Montreal, That doesn't include Montreal. The others may still wear the commonwealth coat, Though there's practically nothing on which we agree, What does commonwealth mean, when it comes to the vote, To Malaysia and Malta And Cyprus and Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago and Gambia and Zambia and Milawi (that's Nyasaland) and Kenya and Ceylon and Nigeria and Sierra Leone, Pray silence for the prime minister of Antarctica! Ark! Ark! Ark! Ark! Uganda and Ghana and all, Old uncle Nkrumah one and all. filename[ CMMNWLTH TUNE FILE: TAMPRCE CLICK TO PLAY Feb07 |
