One night a half 'a dozen tourists
Spent the night together in Trafalgar Square
A fortnight's tour on the Continent was planned
And each had his portmanteau in his hand
Down the Rhine they meant to have a picnic
Til' Jones said, "I must decline"
"Boys you'll be advised by me to stay away from Germany
What's the good a' going down the Rhine"
Let's all go down the Strand (have a banana)
Let's all go down the Strand
I'll be the leader, you can march behind
Come with me and see what we can find
Let's all go down the Strand (have a banana)
Oh! What a happy land
That's the place fer fun and noise
All among the girls and boys
So let's all go down to the Strand
