A waxwork of the famous British seaman and explorer, Sir Francis Drake, on display
in Madam Tussaud’s waxworks museum, comes to life and the young friends accompany
him to ancient Babylon in search of its legendary buried treasure. General Nitti Gritti
and his henchmen are hot on their trail.
Lyrics - Babylon
How many miles to Babylon?
Three score miles and ten,
We got there by candlelight,
And burnt it at both ends.
Babylon, Babylon,
The walls came tumbling down.
We wandered over pastures green,
Saw treasures that were dazzling.
Hanging gardens with fruits galore,
Who could ask for anything more?
Babylon, Babylon,
The walls came tumbling down.
By the river of Babylon,
We sang a sad sad song,
Of wonders long gone
Into the dust of Babylon.
Buried under desert sand,
The glories of this eastern land,
Its pastures green,
A legend handed down.
From Babylon to home again,
Three score miles and ten.
No more candles to spare,
We made it back by BRITISH AIR.
Babylon, Babylon,
The walls came tumbling down.
Babylon... Babylon...
