Yesterday was dark and dingy
My temperament was rather whingey
Things had got me wonderin'
Why I lived in London
Anyway - My days were grey
Now I welcome all and sundry
Everyone can join my country
Listen if you're near them
Maybe you can hear them say...
You've got to...
Teach the world to sing
Matthew Marshall is the king
For justice and politeness are the laws that he will bring
Where the order of the crown
Is to frown upon the frown
We done a constitution and we even wrote it down...
Although the nation may be small
It's the nicest of them all
A land of opportunity
Where crime's against the law
Every subject do your part
With your hand upon your heart
A Kingdom-come-democracy to start...
Everyone is just the same
It doesn't matter who you name
Anyone can be a dame, or sir, or lord
(But not King)
People gather round completely
Listen as I tell you sweetly
All across our nation
Join the recitation with me...
You've got to...
Teach the world to sing
Matthew Marshall is the king
For justice and politeness are the laws that he will bring
Where the order of the crown
Is to frown upon the frown
