Lyrics
Refrain
The guardian of the gate
The gate, the gate, the gate, the gate
The glitt’ring, glist’ning gate
However grand and fine you be
However humble don’t you see
You’ve got to get the key of me
The guardian of the gate
The gate, the gate, the gate, the gate
The glitt’ring, glist’ning gate
You’ve got to get the key of me
The guardian of the gate
Refrain
The gate, the gate, the gate, the gate
The glitt’ring, glist’ning gate
Whate’er your name or your decree
You must defer to my decree
A person of authority
The guardian of the gate
The gate, the gate, the gate, the gate
The glitt’ring, glist’ning gate
A person of authority
The guardian of the gate
