THIS NOVEMBER DAY
A brilliant morn, a beating snare
Saluting horns pierce through the air
Friends to greet and wreaths to lay
Oh it will be this way
On this November day
A buttered loaf, a gravy spoon
The smell of roast pervades the room
Wine to drink and words to say
Oh it will be this way
On this November day
Coloured flags are flapping
On pavillions in the park
As banjo buskers tap their feet
And playful puppies bark
Tourists snap mementos
Of murals on the walls
While proud shopkeepers sweep the streets
And children deck the halls
Hold the sun, hold the moon
Tickertape passing through
Below a sky of blue and grey
Oh it will be this way
On this November day
