0:14William Francis noble lord
0:18His fortune built on sweat and sword
0:21Built an empire tall as a hill
0:24But he don't have fun and he never will
0:28My my
0:31My my
0:35Sees the world so far below
0:39And though he tries he'll never know
0:42Friends to greet the breaking day
0:46And love to pass the night away
0:49My my
0:52My my
0:58William Francis high and dry
1:05With his paradise denied
1:10My my
1:14My my
1:18William Francis lost alone
1:21A thousand ifs and a heart of stone
1:25He measures his life in gain and cost
1:28But he'll never add up the world he lost
1:31My my

1:47With his paradise denied
1:52My my

2:29William Francis master of all
2:32But none to catch him when he falls
2:35He works us long and he works us hard
2:39But we'll dance all the way to the knacker's yard
