Keep your country tidy
Keep rubbish off the floor
Poor old Mother Nature
Can't take it anymore
Leave things as you find them
It's not hard to do
If your country's tidy
So are you

Keep your lover happy
Keep evil from your door
And when you think you've given
Then give her even more
Don't forget the small things
They're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy
Just for you

Take me away to the beautiful day I remember
Pull me down, move me 'round, pull me down
Wish I could stay from beginning of May 'til September
Pull me down, bring me 'round, pull me down

Keep your lover happy
Keep evil from your door
And when you think you've given
Then give her even more
Don't forget the small things
They're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy
Just for you
