The West's asleep
Let England shake
Weighted down
With silent dead
I fear our blood
Won't rise again
Won't rise again
England's dancing days are done
Another day, Bobby, for you to come
Home and tell me indifference has won, won, won
Smile, smile Bobby
With your lovely mouth
Pack up your troubles
And let's head out
To the fountain
Of death and splash about
Swim back, forth, back, back
And laugh out loud
Until the day is ending
And the birds are silent
And the insects are courting
And by the shores
Heavy stones are falling
Smile, smile Bobby
With your lovely mouth
Pack up your troubles
And let's head out
To the fountain
Of death and splash about
Swim back, forth, back, back
And laugh out loud
