Sha-La-La

Shine on me

Sha-La-La

Sha-La-La

Shine on me

She shuffles her feet

In that kitchen retreat

Victorian respite

Irish streets of gold

Far removed from her sod

Where they ran from an angry god

Then settled into

Triple Stacked apartment row

Ys the husband came next

Then young children test

No doubt she cared so well

Fed an army of six

With Ol Harr in the mix

The patience of a saint

A virtuous woman

Bearer of the family flame

Elizabeth, Elizabeth

We honor your name

Sha-La-La

Sha-La-La

Shine on me

Sha-La-La

Sha-La-La

Shine on me

Told it was to that Harry

She had up and wed

But we never got to know him

'Cause the bottle struck him dead

Informed he carried that curse

So of us would know

So she waved goodbye to Hartland

Off to Romsey she'd go

Then the kids they have kids

Once again testing wits

She took it in her stride

Up until her last days

Steadfast in her ways

Inspiring to me

A virtuous woman

Bearer of the family flame

Elizabeth, Elizabeth

We honor your name

That virtuous woman

Bearer of the family flame

Elizabeth, Elizabeth

We honor your name
