Well Fair Laddie. Extravaganza 1961

Hello Colonials

Hello Colonials

I'm gay Lord Chumley-Fanshaw
I've just come out from "home"
And every sight's been a sheer delight
Since I left the aerodrome.

Your people are so friendly
Your scenery is so grand
Politically, you're completely free
(Tho' I hear Lolita's banned).

You've no real crime and no real vice
It's obviously a working-man's paradise
You can quote me on this—you're all veddy, veddy nice
(Actuaileigh, I can't imagine anybody coming here twice.)

I'm gay Lord Chumley-Fanshaw
And let me say aloud
You're right up-to-date and quite first-rate
In the Land of the Long White Cloud.
