I Was There (At the Coronation)
Well, let me tell you ladies and gents
I enjoyed myself to my heart's content
I could not follow the procession
But I was there to see the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Cornination
I took up my position at Marble Arch
From the night before just to see the march
The night wind was blowing, freezing and cold
But I held my ground like a young creole
I was there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
My stoic stance soon paid dividends
For I saw them coming around the bend
Then I percieved in all her glory
The golden coach with her majesty
She was there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
Her majesty looked really divine
In her crimson robe, furred with her mind
The Duke of Edinburugh dignified and neat
Sat besides her as Admiral of the fleet
He was there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
One thousand Guardsmen marching ahead
Physicians and surgeons all in good stead
All the lords of the Admiralty
The War Office and the Air Ministry
They were there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
Navy, Army, Royal Air Force
Cheifs of Staff, United Kingdom of course
The Royal Horse Guard we chanced to see
Escort of the Household Calvary
They were there
At the Corination
I was there At the Corination
At the Corination
Troops from Dominions and Colonies
Australia, New Zealand, and West Indies
India, Ceylon, West Africa
Newfoundland, Gibraltar, and Canada
They were there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
The procession was about 50, 000 strong
It stretched for much more than 6 miles long
Millions of people, all happily
Shouting three cheers for her majesty
They were there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
As I stood looking, rapturously
A feeling of elation came over me
I felt what pleasure, such beauty gives
I shall never forget as long as I live
I was there
At the Corination
We were there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
Millions there
At the Corinationnn
I enjoyed myself to my heart's content
I could not follow the procession
But I was there to see the Corination
I was there
At the Corination
I was there
At the Cornination
I took up my position at Marble Arch
From the night before just to see the march
The night wind was blowing, freezing and cold
But I held my ground like a young creole
I was there
At the Corination
