Lyrics
The sentry stands at the Palace gates
Tho’ he’s not dress’d in red
His eyes are looking ev’rywhere
But he never turns his head
The Royal Standard waves above
For ev’ryone to see
The King is with his people
For that’s where he wants to be
Chorus
The King is still in London, in London, in London
And he would be in London Town
If London bridge were falling down
He has a house in London, in London, in London
And there within the Palace yard
The soldiers of the King stand guard
Strike up the music , roll up the drums
And let all the trumpets play
Tell all the world we’re facing the music
Here we all are and here we all stay
The King is still in London, in London
Like Mister Jones and Mister Brown
The King is still in London Town
Chorus
The Queen is still in London, in London, in London
And she would be in London Town
If London bridge were falling down
She’s with the King in London, in London, in London
And there within the Palace yard
The soldiers of the King stand guard
Strike up the music , roll up the drums
And let all the trumpets play
Tell all the world we’re facing the music
Here we all are and here we all stay
The Queen is still in London, in London
Like Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Brown
The Queen is still in London Town
