England Swings

Katie went to Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Windsor castle today. Me, I'm going to Co-op, but as I do, I am whistling this classic ditty.Three comments. What is the third verse all about? What's up with the quirky dance moves? Finally, when I heard this on the radio as a kid and would sing along I always sang, "We ask Mr. Abbey, the Tower Big Ben," and wondered who Mr. Abbey was and what they were asking him. This is partly because Roger Miller slurred the words, but mainly because I had never heard of Westminster Abbey.
