OVERSEA SHANTY FOR SID
[By WHIM WHAM] To be sung in all schools to the tune of "Bobby Shaftoe” during the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ conference m June. Sid is going beyond the Sea, His Dispatch Case on his Knee, He’ll come back and worry Me, Sunny Sidney Holland! Sid’s our polished Diplomat, He can prove the Earth’s not flat But shaped just like a Homburg Hat, Sunny Sidney Holland! Sid can stand and Sid can speak, Sid in This is not unique, Sid was born—but not last Week, Sunny Sidney Holland! Sid can sweep with Glances keen All the international Scene, Where we are is Where he’s been, Sunny Sidney Holland! Sid has travelled far before, Sid is going to travel More, And it’s me he travels for, Sunny Sidney Holland! Sid who stands where Britain stands Won’t be sorry when he lands— Not on the Rocks or in the Sands, Sunny Sidney Holland! Sid is going beyond the Sea, Where it’s needful he should be, But he’ll come back and worry Me, Sunny Sidney, Holland!
