Come and join The Minstrels Gallery It's a lot of fun Not a deal of money to go round Pick off every crumb But it could be worse, in a 9-5 curse So let's fix that frown 'Cos up here in The Minstrels Gallery It's best to not look down Take a seat the show is starting A human play Where all the rich Folk steal and run away The impression of a party Us minstrels play While your chance of escape Is sold and washed away Back up in The Minstrels Gallery Such a heavy sound As our hard earned Pennies start to drop Traded by the pound But it could be worse Sat in Daddy's purse In a seaside town Where all the fiddles Stitch into the cloth Of the Lord Mayor's gown Act 2: A centre parting 'Cos come what may You have to pick A side to have a say The impression of a party Us minstrels play While your chance of escape Is sold and washed away Is washed away So let the minstrels play!
