A light shown in the night some way ahead,
Blue turned into green then it was red
And stirring the night love music played the light
I saw in the night was a penny arcade
Hey step up and play each machine seemed to say,
As I walked round and round the penny arcade
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you’ll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the penny arcade,
Yes it played and it played,
Played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime.

When James and all his rebel scum
Came up to Bishop’s Gate,
With heart and hand and sword and shield
We’ll guard old Derry’s walls.
