Lady Godiva
The Lady Godiva song is being sung at the Olympic Torch Relay in Coventry on 8th July 2024.
Refrain
Godiva, Godiva, The Lady Godiva is here today.
Godiva, Godiva, the bare horseback rider is here to stay.
Godiva, Godiva, yes, her sole admirer is in the crowd!
Godiva, Godiva, it’s Tom who is peeping - that’s not allowed!
Verse 1
Vexed by his wife's request, he puts her to the test.
Ending all poverty, may cost her dignity.
Refrain
Godiva, Godiva, The Lady Godiva is here today.
Godiva, Godiva, the bare horseback rider is here to stay.
Godiva, Godiva, yes, her sole admirer is in the crowd!
Godiva, Godiva, it’s Tom who is peeping - that’s not allowed!
Verse 2
Hair loose and tumbling down, she sets off through the town.
Bound by their loyalty, no-one turns out to see.
Refrain
Godiva, Godiva, The Lady Godiva is here today.
Godiva, Godiva, the bare horseback rider is here to stay.
Godiva, Godiva, yes, her sole admirer is in the crowd!
Godiva, Godiva, it’s Tom who is peeping - that’s not allowed!
Verse 3
Stunned by Godiva's act, Leo repeals the tax!
Go Diva!
Godiva, Godiva, The Lady Godiva is here today.
Godiva, Godiva, the bare horseback rider is here to stay.
Godiva, Godiva, yes, her sole admirer is in the crowd!
Godiva, Godiva, it’s Tom who is peeping - that’s not allowed!
