Overture / The Old Home Guard

[Chanting]
Treguna Mecoides Trecorum Satis Dee
Treguna Mecoides Trecorum Satis Dee
Treguna Mecoides Trecorum Satis Dee
Treguna Mecoides Trecorum Satis Dee
Treguna Mecoides Trecorum Satis Dee

[Home Guardsmen]
They're sailing for England
Oh what a shame!
Someone it after our island again
We'll let them have it
Oh yes we will!
But maybe they won't want it when they get the bill

For we wrote the story of the old brigades
We know the glory of yesterday's parades
We'll sell Old Blighty yard by yard
They'll buy it from the old Home Guard
They will!
They'll buy it from the old Home Guard!

Call out the navy, call out the ranks
Call out the air force, call out the tanks
From the cliffs of Dover call up the gulls
And don't forget the loyal territorials!

But who's sticking in here? Who will defend
Every inch of England no matter what they send?
Who's standing firm in our own front yard?
The soldiers of the old Home Guard
That's who!
The soldiers of the old Home Guard!

For we wrote the story of the old brigades
We know the glory of yesterday's parades
Who's standing firm in their own front yard?
The soldiers of the old Home Guard
That's who!
The soldiers of the old Home Guard!
