Lyrics Victoria (Stereo) - The Kinks

Long ago, life was clean

Sex was bad, called obscene

And the rich were so mean

Stately homes for the Lords

Croquet lawns, village greens

Victoria was my queen

Victoria

Victoria, 'toria

I was born, lucky me

In a land that I love

Though I'm poor, I am free

When I grow, I shall fight

For this land, I shall die

Let her sun never set

Victoria

Victoria, 'toria

Victoria

Victoria, 'toria

Land of hope and gloria

Land of my Victoria

Land of hope and gloria

Land of my Victoria

Victoria, 'toria

Victoria

Victoria, 'toria

Canada to India

Australia to Cornwall

Singapore to Hong Kong

From the west to the east

From the rich to the poor

Victoria loved them all

Victoria

Victoria, 'toria

Victoria
