In for a penny - I decided to include the sweet white wine from Cargoes

I must go down to the Jubilee, and all I ask is a barge,
I’d keel over with mirth for a single berth, it needn’t be very large,
And some Queenly waves, to a hoarse God Save and peals from the floating carilion
And the crowd’s great roar, as we ship our oars, past the royals in their royal pavilion.
I must go view the River Pageant from a quinquireme,
Oh, how I'd glow as up river we’d row, or merrily down the stream,
And all I ask is seagulls, with their sea-squawks, down the line
and a cargo of apes and peacocks, all awash with sweet white wine.
I must go down to the Jubilee, to the Jubilee in a boat,
For why are we here, if not to cheer, thank god, we're still afloat?
