The Tight Little Island.
- Daddy Neptune, one day,
- To Freedom did say,
- Daddy Neptune, one day,
If ever I live upon dry land,
- The spot I should hit on,
- Would be little Britain-
- The spot I should hit on,
Says Freedom, Why that's my own Island !
- Oh, what a snug little island,
- A right little, tight little island;
- Oh, what a snug little island,
Search the globe round-none can be found,
- So happy as this little island.
- Julius Cæsar, the Roman
- Who yielded to no man,
- Julius Cæsar, the Roman
Came by water, he couldnt come by land,
- And Dane, Pict, and Saxon,
- Their home turn'd their backs on,
- And Dane, Pict, and Saxon,
And all for the sake of our island.
- Oh, what a snug little island,
- They'd all have a touch at the island,
- Oh, what a snug little island,
Some were shot dead--some of them fled,
- And some staid to live on the island.
- Then a very great war=man,
- Call'd Billy the Norman,
- Then a very great war=man,
Cried, Hang it, I never lik‘d my land,
