[Verse 1]

D   D/B    A
One night, half a dozen tourists
D
Met together in Trafalgar Square
              Bm          C#      
A fortnight's tour on the 
      A
continent was planned
    Bm               C#           
And each had his portmanteau in 
  A
his hand
A7                   D
Down the Rhine, they meant to have a
 picnic
     A                     D
'Til Jones said, "I must decline
    F#m            Bm
You boys have been advised by me
F#m            Bm
Stay away from Germany
F#m                Bm             
What's the good of going down the 
A     A7
Rhine?"

[Chorus]

D
Let's all go down the Strand
Bm
Let's all go down the Strand
A               D
I'll be leader, you can march behind
C#               F#m              
Come with me and see what you can 
A
find
D
Let's all go down the Strand
Bm               F#
Oh, what a happy land
Bm                   F#m
That's the place for fun and noise
Bm            F#m
All among the girls and boys
D                              N.C.
So let's all go down the Strand

[Verse 2]

D   D/B  A
One day, five and twenty convicts
D
Sat in five and twenty little cells

              Bm      
The bell then sounded, 
 C#            A
ding-a-ding-a-dong
   Bm           C#              A
To exercise the prisoners came along
A7           D
Burglar Ben exclaimed to Jaggs the 
Warden
    A                  D
"To me, sir, it's very strange
            F#m      Bm
The men are tired of going 'round
 F#m                  Bm
'Round and 'round the same old 
ground
  F#m        Bm            A     A7
I propose we make a little change"

[Chorus]

D
Let's all go down the Strand
Bm
Let's all go down the Strand
A               D
I'll be leader, you can march behind
C#               F#m              
Come with me and see what you can 
A

D
Let's all go down the Strand
Bm               F#
Oh, what a happy land
Bm                   F#m
That's the place for fun and noise
Bm            F#m
All among the girls and boys
D                              N.C.
So let's all go down the Strand

[Verse 3]

D     D/B    A
Great crowds gathered round to 
welcome
D
Shackleton returning from the Pole
           Bm           C#    
The Lord Mayor welcomed all the 
          A
gallant crew
    Bm                   C#       
And said, "My lads, I've got a 
       A
treat for you
A7                D
Come with me, the Mansion House 
awaits you
  A                D
A banquet shall be supplied"
F#m          Bm
But a Tar in grumbling mood
F#m                  Bm
Said, "We don't want any food"
F#m               Bm             
Then he turned to Shackleton and 
A     A7
sighed

[Chorus]

    D
Oh, let's all go down the Strand

A               D

All among the girls and boys
