Victoria Lyrics

The lion and the unicorn were fighting for the crown,
When up spoke Irish Cheddar and they both came tumbling down
The second George departed too, from Stephen's Green in town,
But they're coming down for you, Victoria!
Victoria, they're coming for you soon,
Victoria, it may be when the moon
Is shining on December frosts or on the flowers of June
But they're coming down for you, Victoria!

A gas main burst in Belfast on the eve of Poppy Day,
And loyal doors, and windows too, blew rapidly away.
Came the dawn in Dublin, and the naughty so they say
Sent a message from the Castle to Victoria.

Victoria, they're coming for you soon,
Victoria, it may be when the moon
Is shining on December frosts or on the flowers of June
But they're coming down for you, Victoria!
Georgie lost the City; King Billy lost his head;
The lion lost his balance from the unicorn he fled,
And sure as you're a humpish a stumpy lump of lead
They'll be coming down for you, Victoria.

Victoria, they're coming for you soon,
Victoria, it may be when the moon
Is shining on December frosts or on the flowers of June
But they're coming down for you, Victoria!
Nelson's weather eye, they say, was looking out for squalls;
They're nervous in the Phoenix Park and round old Dublin's walls
But whosoever keeps his place and whosoever falls,
They've a double date with you, Victoria !!!

Victoria, they're coming for you soon,
Victoria, it may be when the moon
Is shining on December frosts or on the flowers of June
But they're coming down for you, Victoria!

Victoria, they're coming for you soon,
Victoria, it may be when the moon
Is shining on December frosts or on the flowers of June
But they're coming down for you, Victoria!
