One night, half adozen tourists met together in Trafalgar Square A fourth nights tour on the continent was planned And each had his portmento in his hand Down the Rhine they ment to have a picnic to Joan siad I mustdecline The boys are being advised by me Stay away from Germany What's the good of going down the Rhine CHORUS: Let's all go down the strand Let's all go down the strand I'll be leader, You can march behind Come with me and see what you can find Let's all go down the strand Oh what a happy land That's the place for fun and noise All amoung the girls and boys So let's all go down the strand One day 5 and 20 convicts Satted by their 20 little cells The bell then sounded ding-a-ding-a-dong To exercise the prisoners came along Buggler Ben exclaimed to Jacks The Warden To me sir, It's very strange The men are tired of going round Round and round the same old ground I purpose we make a little change REPEAT CHORUS Gray crowds gathered round to welcome Shackleton returning from the poll The Lord Mayor welcomed all the galant crew And said my lads, I've got a treat for you Come with me, The mansion house awaits you A banquet shall be supplied But a towering, grumbling mood Said we don't want any food Then he turned to Shackleton and sighed REPEAT CHORUS (x2)
