The Day the Ravens Left the Tower

I've swept the floors of all my kings

I've opened doors, and let the tourists in

Days of wine and roses

Prime ministers, red robes

These days are gone

I've stood on guard as my queens were born

I've cut the grass on many English lawns

Of strawberries and ice cream

Of cricket and cold beer

These days

London Tower's fallin'

Parliament's ablaze

Buckingham Palace has gone

Somewhere in the distance

My darlin', she's a-cryin'

I should be by her side

This is the day the ravens left the Tower

This is the day the ravens fly away

Fly away, fly away

Fly away, fly away

Fly away

I've stood on the changin' of the guards

To the Bloody Tower watchin' the Crown Jewels

A penny for the guy, sir?

Will you vote left or right?

These days

London Bridge is fallin'

Saint Paul's Cathedral burns

The Tower blocks are gone

Somewhere in the distance

My darling, she's a-cryin'

I should be by her side

This is the day the ravens left the Tower

This is the day the ravens fly away

Fly away, fly away (Fly away)

Fly away, fly away (Fly away)

Fly away, fly away (Fly away)

Fly away, fly away

And if I live to see the dawning of the day

I hope I'm in your arms when we get swept away

Oh, darlin', I will be home soon

Darlin', I will be home soon

Ring-a-ring o' roses

A pocket full of posies

A-tishoo, a-tishoo

We all fall down
