Paramount news brings you
A special coverage
Of princess ann's london visit,
The first stop on her much-publicized goodwill tour
Of european capitals.
She gets a royal welcome from the british,
As thousands cheer the gracious young member
Of one of europe's oldest ruling families.
After three days of continuous activity
And a visit to buckingham palace,
Ann flew to amsterdam,
Where her royal highness dedicated
The new international aid building
And christened an ocean liner,
Then went to paris,
Where she attended many official functions
Designed to cement trade relations
Between her country
And the western european nations.
And so to rome, the eternal city,
Where the princess's visit was marked
By a spectacular military parade
Highlighted by the band
Of the crack bersagliere regiment.

The smiling princess showed no sign of the strain
Of the week's public appearances.
And at her country's embassy that evening,
A formal reception and ball in her honor
Was given by her country's ambassador to Italy.
