Now once upon a time in an old country
Far away in a place called Paris france
Where August ninety seven is remembered
Of a crash that left the world in a trance
Lady Di on her way home from a party
With her prince in his Mercedes Benz
When just past midnight it turned into a pumpkin
It's a story 'bout a fairy tale's end
Chorus
Now dance to the Great Britain Waltz
Twirl around in your fine satin dress
But don't two step too close to the crevice
Cause if you do you'll fall over the edge
And when you fall you fly to a wonderland
To an everlasting sleep among the dead
Where princess and frogs have no power
To kiss you awake from the spell
Now in the real world of speed and super hi-ways
Where flesh collides with concrete and steel
And if you're dancing with the devil in the fast lane
The Joker's wild he'll sweep you off your feet
Now you can change the name of an old song
Re-arrange the words for somebody new
Candle in the wind is such as old flame
The Great Britain Waltz I wrote for you
