If

If?
The population of China?
All shouted 
Bang together
?Would the Earth tremble?
Would it affect the weather??

Would?
The clouds surge to heaven?
Would birds cease to sing
?Would it rain in Barnsley
?Would it affect everything

Or?
Would the population of Neasden
?Just shrug their shoulders and say
?I suppose it’s a slightly different?
Way to start the working day

??And?
Would the population of Britain
?As I suppose I really suspect
?Say just a bunch of foreigners?
What more can you expect

So
Would the Earth tremble?
Would it affect the weather
If the population of China
?All shouted Bang together

You are right "Or? Would the population of Neasden ?Just shrug their shoulders and say" - I think they would just shrug their shoulders and say this.
