In Pietermaritzburg the people
Go to school as the English do
And you'll see the old English flag
At the top of the club
And the statue of the Queen
Still frowns at all who pass her by
Like the Mrs. Tumbler
With her nose in every pie
And the old pavilion
Where the men in white still play
At Dingleys, Dingleys bookshop
With the books for scholars to get degrees
With all it's old fashioned paint and shelves
And Dingleys old fashioned thoughts so he tells
Now you find old Gerald Dingley
And Kate his wife behind the shelves
And his son and daughter
Are happy to be part of Dingleys
Go to school as the English do
And you'll see the old English flag
At the top of the club
And the statue of the Queen
Still frowns at all who pass her by
Like the Mrs. Tumbler
With her nose in every pie
And the old pavilion
Where the men in white still play
At Dingleys, Dingleys bookshop
With the books for scholars to get degrees
With all it's old fashioned paint and shelves
And Dingleys old fashioned thoughts so he tells
Now you find old Gerald Dingley
And Kate his wife behind the shelves
And his son and daughter
Are happy to be part of Dingleys
