Well let me tell you, Ladies and Gents
I enjoyed myself to my heart's content
I could not follow the procession
But I was there to see the coronation

[Refrain]
I was there (at the coronation)
I was there (at the coronation)

I took up my position at Marble Arch
From the night before just to see the march
The night wind was blowing, freezing and cold
But I held my ground like a young Creole

[Refrain]
I was there (at the coronation)
I was there (at the coronation)

My stoic stand soon paid dividends
For I saw them coming around the bend
Then I perceived in all her glory
The golden coach with Her Majesty

[Refrain]
She was there (at the coronation)
I was there (at the coronation)

SOLO

Her Majesty looked really divine
In her crimson robe furred with ermine
The Duke of Edinburgh dignified and neat
Sat beside her as Admiral of the Fleet

[Refrain]
He was there (at the coronation)
I was there (at the coronation)

One thousand guardsmen marching ahead
Physicians and surgeons all in good stead
All the Lords of the Admiralty
The War Office and the Air Ministry

[Refrain]
They were there (at the coronation)
I was there (at the coronation)

Navy, Army, Royal Air Force
Chiefs of staff, United Kingdom, of course
The Royal Horse Guards we had chance to see
Escorted the Household Cavalry

[Refrain]
They were there (at the coronation)
I was there (at the coronation)
