I was nothing but a child
When they took my heart away
Now I stand in single file
Underneath the grey clouds

She has tried to make me hers
And to take my heart away
To relieve me of my cares
And to love me [bad word] 
But there’ll never be a girl
Who can take my heart away
From the sight of Charlie George
Lying in the sunshine

I’ve watched them all my life
Those little men in red and white
Now I’ll never leave their sight
Little men in red and white

I love those men in red and white
I love all the men in red and white

I was nothing but a child
When they took my heart away
Now I stand in single file
Underneath the grey skies

I have watched them all my life
Those little men in red and white
Now I’ll never leave their sight
Little men in red and white

I love those men in red and white
I love all the men in red and white

I'm in the Highbury sunshine, Oh Yeah!
I'm in the Highbury sunshine, Oh Yeah!
I'm in the Highbury sunshine, Oh Yeah!
I'm in the Highbury sunshine, Oh Yeah!
