I still love that Girl From Valley Road.
When sorcerers do leave their charm,
When spiders do the fly no harm.
And when the blackbird leaves to sing,
And likewise serpents for to sting.

When what is worse has turned to best,
When crabs with swallows build their nests
When little bees shall castles bear,
And fly so with them through the air.

Then you may say aye and not ‘til then,
The world is full of honest men.
Then you may say, aye and justly too
The old world now is turned anew.

When snow falls black and crows be white,
And all things that are wrong turn right.
When men with pearl do fatten hogs,
And mewing cats do menace dogs.

When water burns and fire doth freeze,
And oysters grow as fruit on trees.
When darkness doth outshine the light,
And snails surpass the arrow’s flight.

Then you may say aye and not ‘til then,
The world is full of honest men.
Then you may say, aye and justly too
The old world now is turned anew.

When Lucifer an angel turns,
And when in hell no fire burns.
When men are prone to such good will,
That they to no-one will do ill.

When Westminster doth eastward stand
And touches neither sea nor land.
And wherein you cannot see,
A lawyer that will take his fee.

Then you may say aye and not ‘til then,
The world is full of honest men.
Then you may say, aye and justly too
The old world now is turned anew.

When oil and water freely mix
Armies talk not of politics
When sovereigns reign, but n'er opress
And all may live in happiness.

When men of all religions stand
in peace within a prosperous land
When King and Parliament agree
together live in amity!

Then you may say aye and not ‘til then,
The world is full of honest men.
Then you may say, aye and justly too
The old world now is turned anew.
