One night, half a dozen tourists met together in Trafalgar Square
A fourth nights tour on the continent was planned
And each had his portmento in his hand
Down the Rhine they ment to have a picnic to Joan siad I must decline

The boys are being advised by me
Stay away from Germany
What´s the good of going down the Rhine

Let´s all go down the strand
Let´s all go down the strand
I´ll be leader, You can march behind
Come with me and see what you can find
Let´s all go down the strand
Oh what a happy land
That´s the place for fun and noise
All amoung the girls and boys
So let´s all go down the strand

One day 5 and 20 convicts
Satted by their 20 little cells
The bell then sounded ding-a-ding-a-dong
To exercise the prisoners came along

Buggler Ben exclaimed to Jacks The Warden
To me sir, It´s very strange
The men are tired of going round
Round and round the same old ground
I purpose we make a little change

Let´s all go down the strand
Let´s all go down the strand
I´ll be leader, You can march behind
Come with me and see what you can find
Let´s all go down the strand
Oh what a happy land
That´s the place for fun and noise
All amoung the girls and boys
So let´s all go down the strand

Gray crowds gathered round to welcome
Shackleton returning from the poll

The Lord Mayor welcomed all the galant crew
And said my lads, I´ve got a treat for you
Come with me, The mansion house awaits you
A banquet shall be supplied
But a towering, grumbling mood
Said we don´t want any food
Then he turned to Shackleton and sighed

Let´s all go down the strand
Let´s all go down the strand
I´ll be leader, You can march behind
Come with me and see what you can find
Let´s all go down the strand
Oh what a happy land
That´s the place for fun and noise
All amoung the girls and boys
So let´s all go down the strand
