Text
This is "The House" that man built,
And these are the Members who've been sitting late
Coming out arm in arm, from a lengthy debate,
Women and men 'neath the shade of Big Ben
In the Year - well we cannot exactly say when;
But the brave Suffragette very shortly must get,
Into "The House" that man built.
And these are the Members who've been sitting late

But the brave Suffragette very shortly must get,
Into "The House" that man built.
