Drink Our Kingdom Dry

Lyrics by Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova

(To the Tune of: Drink Old England Dry)

Now come my dear friends, as I've called you before
Come into the Court and please try not to snore
For the King has his party and they say that they will try, will try
They say that they will come and drink our Kingdom dry

Chorus:
     Aye dry, aye dry my friends, aye dry
     They say that they will come and drink our Kingdom dry

Then up spoke Earl Geoffrey, a man of high renown
He swears he will save both his Kingdom and the Crown
For the chains they shall rattle and the protests they shall fly, shall fly
Before the King should go and drink our Kingdom dry

Chorus

Supposin' that we should meet with some Pirates by the way
This is not E Clampus Vitus, au contraire, the S.C.A.
With our chivalry and honor we will fight until we die, we die
We'll die before that they should drink our Kingdom dry

Chorus
