Victoria Songtext

von Ray Davies and the Crouch End Festival Chorus

Long ago life was clean, sex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the lords, croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

I was born, lucky me in a land that I love
Though I am poor I am free
When I grow I shall fight for this land I shall die
Let her sun never set

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, toria

Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria

From Canada to India, Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East, from the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, Victoria
