Horseguards
Come on down to Whitehall,
To visit England’s pride –
Fine-dressed guards on horseback stand
Sentry either side.
Come on down to Whitehall,
These soldiers trained to kill
With milit’ry precision sit
Absolutely still.
Come on down to Whitehall,
At eleventh hour
Watch crack troops all moving at
The rate of one horse-power.
Come on down to Whitehall,
They don’t do things by halves –
Our household guards can both stand guard
And pose for photographs.
