[Danny Wallace]
Yesterday was dark and dingy
My temperament was rather whingey
Things had got me wondering
Why I lived in London
Anyway, my days were grey
Now I welcome all and sundry
Everyone can join my country
Listen if you're near them,
Maybe you can hear them say
You've got to teach the world to sing
Danny Wallace is the king
For justice and politeness
Are the laws that he will bring
Where the order of the crown
Is to frown upon the frown
We done a constitution
And we even wrote it down
Although the nation may be small
It's the nicest of them all
A land of opportunity
Where crime's against the law
Every subject, do your part
With your hand upon your heart
A kingdom come democracy to start
[instrumental]
Everyone is just the same
It doesn't matter who you name
Anyone can be a dame or sir or lord!
(but not king)
People gather round completely
Listen as I tell you sweetly
All across our nation
Join the recitation with me!
[everyone]
You've got to teach the world to sing

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
