Now Fanny's past and breathed her last - we've lost a lovely soul
Nota bene, one of many, whose plight they will condole
While they profess their big success - two thousand ten again
It's bitter yokes they've left the folks who built this land for them

Refrain They did their best, their comtempt expressed, they laid her in the ground
But she's thumbed her nose,their contempt exposed, her plight's become renowned
The seed will root, the plant will shoot, her name will carry on
And Fanny's gift will uplift and bloom 'til they are gone

Now Alfie's heart was torn apart by what they did to her
He couldn't face that empty place - the loss of his dear girl
A love so long, a love so strong it couldn't be denied
They've placed their blame, not theirs they claim, I guess they're satisfied

She's made it clear we'd better fear it might happen to us all
Her voice has grown and they've been shown the way of their downfall
They will disclaim for that's their aim to play the numbers game
So let's be clear to their tin ear - Victoria's to blame
