The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

We are the village green
preservation society
God save donald duck,
vaudeville and variety
We are the desperate dan
appreciation society
God save strawberry jam
and all the different varieties

Preserving the old ways
from being abused
Protecting the new ways
for me and for you
What more can we do

We are the draught beer

God save mrs. mopp
and good old mother riley
We are the custard pie

God save the george cross
and all those who were awarded them

We are the sherlock holmes

Help save fu manchu,
moriarty and dracula
We are the office block
persecution affinity
God save little shops,
china cups and virginity

We are the skyscraper

God save tudor houses,
antique tables and billiards

Preserving the old ways
from being abused
Protecting the new ways
for me and for you
What more can we do

We are the village green
preservation society
God save donald duck,
vaudeville and variety
We are the desperate dan
appreciation society
God save strawberry jam
and all the different varieties

We are the village green

We are the village green
