England,
A land of myth and legend my friends,
where the grass lies green,
it's whispering tales of the things it's seen,
it's said to be greener on the other side,
England's a green and pleasant land.
we have glorious forests,
some old,
some new,
we have beaches of sand and shingle,
where tourist folk mingle,
we have towns,
we have cities,
some very pretty,
some screaming pity.

We have fine art and romance,
we have true love and no chance,
we have mountains and cliff tops,
we have memories of war time ,
with Dame Vera Lynn,
she is singing her praises,
of white cliffs of Dover,
and pure British daisies,
maybe it's better on the other side of the tracks,
just don't ever know,
lucky for most of us,
never been that low,
but,
most of all,
I am English through and through,
I shall not flout being English,
I shall kiss being English,
forΒ Β now I bid you adieu!
