In Reply to: Wishing you Canadians a Safe, PF Long Weekend..eh! ;o) nt posted by Gord on May 18, 2001 at 15:34:26:
in order for this long weekend to start officially..you must play The Kink's song "Victoria"...
with apologies to ray davies:
VICTORIA
Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
CHORUS:
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I am poor, I am free
When I grow I shall fight
For this land I shall die
Let her sun never set ...CHORUS TWICE
BRIDGE:
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Victoria, toria
SOLO (OVER VERSE CHORDS)
CHORUS (hold the first two "Victoria"s longer)
Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all ...CHORUS
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria---------
