well the news came down,
at a quarter past three.
the wretched duel is won.
your george is safe,
and your william is free.
so go on out, into the sun.
and wave your flags,
and pound your feet,
and kiss the strangers out on downing street.

well yours took shelter in an old wood shed,
and yours worked safely on the wire,
and yours spent six months laid away in bed.
while my billy ran into the fire.
so wave your flags,
and pound your feet,
and kiss the strangers out on downing street.
