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,

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria...

I was born, lucky me,
In a land that I love,
Though I am poor, I am free,
When I grow I shall fight,
For this land I shall die,
Let her sun never set,

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria,
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria,

Land of hope and gloria,
Land of my Victoria,
Land of hope and gloria,
Land of my Victoria,
Victoria, 'toria,

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria,

Canada to India,
Australia to Cornwall,
Singapore to Hong Kong,
From the West to the East,
From to the rich to the poor,
Victoria loved them all,

Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria...
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria...
