FOR the Coronation
My brother Gordon John
Bought Mum - a television!
To watch it all upon!
He bought mum a "fat" T.V.
A 12" screen
We watched while eating up our tea.
The neighbours and our cousins
They all came to call
Spilling from the front room
Halfway down the hall!
We watched the coronation
Of our new young Queen
Dad passed around the butties
Filled with cold roast beef
Mum made pots and pots of tea
Passed around by me!
We all sighed when we saw her
Lillibet in her ermine gown
While the Archbishop of Canterbury
On her head he placed a crown
We all knew we needn't worry
She would never let us down.
