No. 1 - Opening Chorus
| Chorus: | Life is very jolly down at Maidenhead, Maidenhead, Maidenhead; For the time we rise How ev'ry moment flies Till we go to bed, to bed! If you're feeling worried or a bit depressed, We'll suggest what is best, Come along and spend a really nice weekend Down at Maidenhead. Life is very jolly down at Maidenhead, Maidenhead, Maidenhead; For the time we rise How ev'ry moment flies Till we go to bed, to bed! If you're feeling worried or a bit depressed, We'll suggest what is best, Come along and spend a really nice weekend Down at Maidenhead. |
| Men: | Here you can do just what you please, Poling a punt beneath the trees, |
| Girls: | Tea and tennis too, if it appeals to you. |
| All: | Bathe or fish, as you wish, Or paddle your own canoe, Or paddle your own canoe, Yes, tea and tennis too, if it appeals to you, Or paddle your own canoe. And when you've dined You watch the little launches, puff, puff, puff, And feel inclined For talking sentimental stuff, puff, puff, You bill and coo, Enjoying love's young dream While the merry little launches puff, puff, puff, puff, Puff, puff up the stream, While the merry little launches puff, puff, puff, puff, Puff, puff up the stream, They puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff. |
| Solo: | Month of fair July, Queen of the English summer; Soft the stream flows by, Murm'ring to each newcomer: "Who would stop in town, Under a sunlit sky? Surely there's no place like the river In the month of fair July!" |

If you're feeling worried or a bit depressed, We'll suggest what is best, Come along and spend a really nice weekend Down at Maidenhead. It's very jolly there, If you're a bit depressed, A really nice weekend at Maidenhead. |
