One Touch of Alchemy

We now enter upon a new era

A future of universal happiness and abundance!

One touch of alchemy

Transmutes our age to gold

Would you be rich and free?

Then do as you are told

This modern alchemy

Transmutes our age to gold

The man who would be free

Must do as he is told

No man shall want for food

Nor ditto any wife

All hail the bright, the good

The regimented life!

No man shall want for food

Nor ditto any wife

All hail the bright, the good

The regimented life!

The honeymoon of time

I augur and proclaim

The apex of our climb

For burgher and for dame

The honeymoon of time

He augurs and proclaims

The apex of our climb

For burghers and for dames

All hail the political honeymoon

Sing the news to hoi polloi

Of each individual man his boon

In an age of strength through joy!

All hail the political honeymoon

Of each individual man his boon

In an age of strength through joy!
