All round the village,
All round the village;
All round the village,
As we have done before.

In and out of the window,
In and out of the window;
In and out of the window,
As we have done before.

Stand and face your lover,
Stand and face your lover;
Stand and face your lover,
As we have done before.

Kiss her if you love her,
Kiss her if you love her;
Kiss her if you love her,
As we have done before.

Take her off to London,
Take her off to London;
Take her off to London,
As we have done before.

All round the village,
All round the village;
All round the village,
As you have done before.
