Yesterday was dark and dingy,
My temperament was rather wingy,
Things had got me wonderin' why I lived in London anyway,
My days were grey.
Now I welcome all and sundry,
Everyone can join my country,
Listen if you're near them,
Maybe you can hear them say...
You've got to teach the world to sing,
Danny Wallace is the king!
For justice and politeness are the laws which he will bring,
Where the order of the crown is to frown upon the frown.
We've done a constitution and we've even wrote it down...
Although the nation may be small it's the nicest of them all,
A land of opportunity where crime's against the law.
Ev'ry subject do your part, with your hand upon your heart,
A Kingdom-come-democracy to start.
Ev'ryone is just the same,
It doesn't matter who you name.
Anyone can be a dame, or sir, or lord (but not king)
People gather round completely
Listen as I tell you sweetly
All across our nation
Join the recitation with me...
You've got to teach the world to sing,
Danny Wallace is the king!
For justice and politeness are the laws which he will bring,
Where the order of the crown is to frown upon the frown.
We've done a constitution and we've even wrote it down...
Although the nation may be small it's the nicest of them all,
A land of opportunity where crime's against the law.
Ev'ry subject do your part, with your hand upon your heart,
A Kingdom-come-democracy to start.
You've got to teach the world to sing,
Danny Wallace is the king!
For justice and politeness are the laws which he will bring,
Where the order of the crown is to frown upon the frown.
We've done a constitution and we've even wrote it down...
