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 it’s not so big after all,
Cos there’s your own kith and kin there to welcome you in,
On the other side of the world,
There’s 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 you’ll see a flag on the pole, and meet the
People who kept it unfurled
And when a couples honey –doving it’s the same old kind of loving,
On the other side of the world
Though we’re miles from our shore its like living next door,
On the other side of the world,
We’ve 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 we’ll stick,
And we’ll keep the old banner unfurled
So it’s a very happy meeting and I bring a special greeting,
From the other side of the world
INSTRUMENTAL
So it’s a very happy meeting and I bring a special greeting,
From the other side of the world
