Now I had a notion, while crossing the ocean,
That the world was anything but small.
But when I landed here, it was soon very clear,
That its not so big after all,
Cos theres your own kith and kin there to welcome you in,
On the other side of the world,
Theres the same kindly folk, who crack the same kind of joke,
On the other side of the world
And if you go for a stroll youll see a flag on the pole,
And meet the people who kept it un - furled
And when a couples honey doving its the same old kind of loving,
On the other side of the world
Though were miles from our shore its like living next door,
On the other side of the world,
Weve the same kind of names and play the same kind of games,
On the other side of the world
And when the trouble is thick, like glue to - gether well stick,
And well keep the old banner unfurled
So its a very happy meeting and I bring a special greeting,
From the other side of the world
(First 4 lines are as verse 2, last 2 lines are as 1st 2 lines in bridge)
last 2 lines of bridge)
So its a very happy meeting and I bring a special greeting,
From the other side of the world
Alternative Farewell Chorus
Im going back home next week way over the foam, to the other side of the world,
Such nice people Ive met I shall leave with regret, for the other side of the world,
And though the rations are short, but all the food that youve brought, have helped to
keep the old banner unfurled,
So to you my thanks Im tending for the parcels youve been sending, to the other side
of the world
