Lyrics
You'll read it now they'll tell you how
The Lady is a leader
With hats and curls and strings of pearls
They say the people need her
She took the milk from my son John
And locked it in her larder
Then said the secret of success
Is work a little harder.
Call us equal, call us proud, call yourself a liar
No matter what the people do, they set the target higher.
My girl she nurses sick and old,
the builders of the nation
And then they pay a pauper's wage
And tell her it's vocation
She'd love to ride the world around
To give the cups or prizes
But someone's got to feed the blind
And see the cripple rises.
Call us equal, call us proud, call yourself a liar
No matter what the people do, they set the target higher.
We would have married long ago
And we're still hoping one day
Two up two down and a little lawn
And time to rest on Sunday.
I wish the ones who keep us here
Could live like us and borrow
I'd place a pound for what it's worth
That they'd be gone tomorrow
We'd like a yacht, some rooms to spare
And horses in the stable
We might as well believe that we
Could buy meat for the table.
Call us equal, call us proud, call yourself a liar
No matter what the people do, they set the target higher
