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.
