[G] Isabel makes love upon [D] national [G] monuments
[G] With style and enthusiasm and [D] anyone at [G] all.
[G] Isabel's done Stonehenge and the [D] Houses of [G] Parliament,
[G] But so far little Isabel's never [D] played the Albert [G] Hall.
[Em] Many a [Am7] monolith has [D] seen [G] Isabel,
[Em] Her bright hair in [Am7] turmoil, her [D] breasts' surging [G] swell.
But [Em] unhappy [Am7] Albert, [D] so far [G] denied
[G] The bright sight of [Am7] Isabel getting [D] into her [G] stride.
[G] The Forth Bridge, The Cenotaph, [D] Balmoral and [G] Wembley.
[G] The British Museum and the [D] House of [G] Lords.
[G] So many ticks in her [D] National Trust [G] catalogue,
[G] But so far the Royal Albert [D] Hall has not [G] scored.
[Em] Countless [Am7] cathedrals can [D] now proudly [G] show
[Em] Where Isabel's [Am7] white shoulder blades [D] have briefly [G] reposed.
[Em] Miserable [Am7] Albert, [D] still waiting [G] for
[G] The imprint of [Am7] Isabel on [D] his parquet [G] floor.
[G] In Westminster Abbey she [D] lay upon a cold [G] tombstone,
[G] The meat in a sandwich of [D] monumental [G] love,
[G] With old po-faced Wordsworth [D] unblinking [G] beneath
And [G] a bright-eyed young Arch-Deacon [D] breathless [G] above.
[Em] Many a stony faced [Am7] statue has [D] flickered its [G] eyes
And [Em] swayed to the [Am7] rhythm of her [D] little panting [G] cries.
But [Em] oh! wretched [Am7] Albert [D] never yet has [G] known
[Em] Isabel's pretty [Am7] whinnying [D] echo round his [G] dome.
[G] On the last night of the Promenades she [D] waved to the [G] conductor
And [G] there and then on the podium, with [D] scarcely a [G] pause,
[G] With a smile and a bow and a [D] loud "Rule [G] Britannia!"
He [G] completed her collection to [D] enormous [G] applause.
[Em] Rapturous [Am7] Albert [D] now knows full [G] well
He's [Em] captured for-[Am7]ever [D] elusive Isa-[G]bel.
[Em] Prettily di-[Am7]shevelled but [D] firmly [G] installed
And [Em] faithfully for [Am7] evermore to the [D] Royal Albert [G] Hall.
No [Em] more frantic [Am7] scrambling's up the [D] dome of St. [G] Pauls.
No [Em] more dank [Am7] rambles on [D] Hadrian's [G] Wall.
With [Em] style and [Am7] enthusiasm and [D] anyone at [G] all,
[Em] Isabel makes [Am7] love in the [D] Royal Albert [G] Hall.
