The first thing we pray for
We pray for our rest,
For the Lord knows and we all know that a good rest is best
And if we have one rest, may we also have ten,
May we have a little holiday,
Hallelujah, Amen

The next thing we pray for,
We pray for our bread
For the Lord knows and we all know that without bread we're dead
And if we have one loaf, may we also have ten,
May we have a little bakery,
Hallelujah, Amen.

The next thing we pray for,
We pray for our beer
For the Lord knows and we all know that it brings us good cheer
And if we have one pint, may we also have ten,
May we have a little brewery,
Hallelujah, Amen.

The last thing we pray for,
We pray for our Queen.
For the Lord knows and we all know what a good Queen she's been
And if we have one Queen, may we also have ten,
May we have a little regiment,
Hallelujah, Amen.
