A sentry stands at the palace gate
Though he’s not dressed in red
His eyes are looking everywhere
But he never turns his head
The Royal Standard waves above
For everyone to see
The King is with his people
‘Cos that’s where he wants to be

The King is still in London,
In London, in London,
And he would be in London Town
If London Bridge was falling down
He’s got a house in London,
In London, in London,
And there within the Palace yard
The soldiers of the King stand guard

Strike up the music, roll up the drums
And let all the trumpets play
Tell all the world we’re facing the music
Here we all are, and here we all stay

The King is still in London
In London, in London,
Like Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown
The King is still in London Town.
