| Well let me tell you ladies and gents
|
| I enjoyed myself to my hearts content
|
| I could not follow the procession
|
| But I was there to see the coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| 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 coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| My stoic stance soon paid dividends
|
| For I saw them coming around the bend
|
| Then I perceived in all her glory
|
| The golden coach with her majesty
|
| She was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| Her majesty looked really divine
|
| In her crimson robe, furred with her mind
|
| The Duke of Edinburgh dignified and neat
|
| Sat besides her as Admiral of the fleet
|
| He was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| 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 coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| Navy, Army, Royal Air Force
|
| Chiefs of Staff, United Kingdom of course
|
| The Royal Horse Guard we chanced to see
|
| Escort of the Household Calvary
|
| They were there
|
| At the coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| Troops from Dominions and Colonies
|
| Australia, New Zealand, and West Indies
|
| India, Ceylon, West Africa
|
| Newfoundland, Gibraltar, and Canada
|
| They were there
|
| At the coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| 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 coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| 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 coronation
|
| We were there
|
| At the coronation
|
| I was there
|
| At the coronation
|
| Millions there
|
| At the coronation |
