Lyrics: We are the Village Green Preservation Society God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties Preserving the old ways from being abused Protecting the new ways, for me and for you What more can we do? We are the Draught Beer Preservation Society God save Mrs. Mopp and good old Mother Riley We are the Custard Pie Appreciation Consortium God save the George Cross, and all those who were awarded them Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh We are the Sherlock Holmes English-speaking Vernacular God save Fu Manchu, Moriarty and Dracula We are the Office Block Persecution Affinity God save little shops, china cups, and virginity We are the Skyscraper Condemnation Affiliates God save Tudor houses, antique tables, and billiards Preserving the old ways from being abused Protecting the new ways, for me and for you What more can we do? We are the Village Green Preservation Society God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties We are the Village Green Preservation Society God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety We are the Desperate Dan Appreciation Society God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety God save the Village Green!
