Before Our Queen

What I wish is war wasn't around any more

And every time when we would open a door

We would all politely be allowed to come in

After a while still be able to come back again.


Fighting would be replaced by friendship I hear

Peace would be extended over the hemisphere

But before you hit the bed and have to crash

Recycle crush and smash and put out the trash.


Will always let a women get on before me.

Even if she happens to be high society

And every time when we may meet

Will walk and be on closed side to the street.


Won't have to wear an Easter Bonnet

When you will be using our water closet

Everyone there is always jolly by golly

And tend to smile while riding a trolley


In British Isles when you first arrive

And from a horrible trip had to survive

Sorry we wont have a Boston Baked bean

Still should bow or curtsy before our Queen.
