Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich Loos Of England
Of all the works of Englishmen Deserving fame and glory
Of mighty deeds and triumphs bold In his renowned
history
The one that’s sung and praised the least Must be the
lavatory
Long live the loos of England !
His firm support in hour of need A shrine for
meditation
A haven from the busy world A fond of inspiration
The glory of the plumber’s art Triumph of sanitation
Long live the loos of England !
The French who have no shame at all Have built them on
the street
And though they may be picturesque It’s hard to be
discreet
You stand right in the boulevard A chill wind round
your feet
Long live the loos of England !
The US put them up in space Before the other nations
They even paint them black & white To help their race
relations
But it’s taboo to call them loos They call them
"comfort stations"
Long live the loos of England !
In Greece it’s rare to find 'em there Even in the
twentieth century
And if you do you’ll finally see A little elementary
And in the blazing mid-day heat They’re not exactly
sanitary
Long live the loos of England !
In Russia they’ve been nationalized And if you pay your
rouble
There’ll be a guard and watch-dog too To keep you out
of trouble
And make quite sure you don’t inscribe Some capitalist
doodle
Long live the loos of England !
Australia’s big and in the bush You’ve loads of space
to choose
If you avoid the prickly pear You’ve little else to
lose
But mind you keep one jump ahead Of those damned
kangaroos
Long live the loos of England !
So in this world there is one jam That we must hold
most dear
And though they ring the changes One thing must not
disappear
And if they ask who sang this song Tell them “Kilroy
was here, mate”
Long live the loos of England !
Long live the loos of England !
