[Verse, Private Willis]
When all night long a chap remains
On sentry-go, to chase monotony
He exercises of his brains
That is, assuming that he's got any
Though never nurtured in the lap
Of luxury, yet I admonish you
I am an intellectual chap
And think of things that would astonish you
[Chorus]
I often think it's comical – Fal, lal, la!
How Nature always does contrive – Fal, lal, la!
That every boy and every gal
That’s born into the world alive
Is either a little Liberal
Or else a little Conservative!
Fal, lal, la!
[Verse]
When in that House M.P.'s divide
If they’ve a brain and cerebеllum, too
They’ve got to leavе that brain outside
And vote just as their leaders tell 'em to
But then the prospect of a lot
Of dull M. P.’s in close proximity
All thinking for themselves, is what
No man can face with equanimity
[Chorus]
Then let’s rejoice with loud Fal la – Fal la la!
That Nature always does contrive – Fal lal la!
That every boy and every gal
That’s born into the world alive
Is either a little Liberal
Or else a little Conservative!
Fal lal la!
