' It’s marathon day in London town
thousands of athletes running round
Past London Tower and Catherines Dock
timing themselves against the clock
Buckingham Palace and past Big Ben
Westminster Abbey, Greenwich, then
Tower Bridge and the Cutty Sark
hoping to finish before it gets dark
My preparation’s all been done
I thought this day would never come
Now I feel I’m finally ready
to pull up a chair and watch it on telly!
