Loos Of England

Loos Of England - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich

Written by：Ken Howard/Alan Tudor Blaikley/Steve Rowland

Of all the works of English men

Deserving fame and glory

Of mighty deeds and triumphs

Bold in his renowned history

The one that's sung and praised

The least must be the lavatory

Long live the loos of England

His firm support in hour of need

A shrine for meditation

A haven from the busy world a fought of inspiration

The glory of the plumber's art

Triumph of sanitation

Long live the loos of England

The french who have no shame at all

Have built them on the street

And though they may be picturesque

It's hard to be discreet

You stand right in the boulevard

A chill wind round your feet

Long live the loos of England

The U S put them up in space

Before the other nations

They even paint them black and white

To help their race relations

But it's taboo to call them loos

They call them comfort stations

Long live the loos of England

In Greece it's rare to find 'em there even in the

Twentieth century

And if you do you'll finally seem a little elementary

And in the blazing mid day heat

They're not exactly scent free

Long live the loos of England

In Russia they've been nationalized

And if you pay your rouble

There'll be a guard and watch dog too

To keep you out of trouble

And make quite sure you don't inscribe some capitalist doodle

Long live the loos of England

Australia's big and in the bush

You've loads of space to choose

If you avoid the prickly pear

You've little else to lose

But mind you keep one jump

Ahead of those damned kangaroos

Long live the loos of England

So in this world there is one

Jam that we must hold most dear

And though they ring

The changes one thing must not disappear

And if they ask who sang this song

Tell them kilroy was here mate

Long live the loos of England

Long live the loos of England
