They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin can’t go says Alice
They’ve furloughed all the Coldstream Guards
A soldiers life is terribly hard
says Alice.
They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin can’t go with Alice
A soldier has to be very alert
to stop the virus from being caught
says Alice.
They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin can’t go with Alice
They socially distanced all the bands
A sergeant checks they wash their hands
says Alice.
They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin can’t go with Alice
They can’t have parties in the grounds
friends and neighbours can’t come round
says Alice.
They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin can’t go with Alice.
A face looked out but it wasn’t the Queen’s
She has to shelter so it seems
thinks Alice.
They’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace
Christopher Robin can’t go with Alice
Do you think the Queen is bored like us?
Don’t suppose she makes a fuss.
says Alice.
