Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad, called obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
[Verse 2]
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria-toria
[Verse 3]
I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I'm poor I am free
When I grow I shall fight
For this land, I shall die
Let her sun never set
[Verse 4]
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria-toria
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria-toria
[Verse 5]
Land of hope and Gloria
Land of my Victoria
Land of hope and Gloria
Land of my Victoria
[Verse 6]
Victoria-toria
[Verse 7]
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria-toria
[Verse 8]
Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
[Verse 9]
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria-toria
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria
