Are we on our way to Nottingham, to Brittingham, to Buckingham
Or any hammy hamlet by the sea? No
Are we on our way to Devonshire, to Lancashire or Worchestershire?
I'm not so sure
We'll have to wait and see

Oh, are we on our way to Dover
Or going merrily over
The jolly old road that goes to Plymouth? Ho, no

We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way
To nowhere in particular
We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way
Where the roads are perpendicular

We're always in a hurry
We have no time to stall
We've got to be there
We've got to be there
But where, we can't recall

We're merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily on our way
And we may be going to Devonshire, to Lancashire or Worchestershire
We're not so sure but what do we care?
We're only sure we've got to be there
We're merrily on our way to nowhere at all
