England, Half English

Lyrics for England, Half English

My mother was half English And I'm half English too I'm a great big bundle of culture Tied up in the red, white and blue I'm a fine example of your Essex man I'm well familiar with the Hindustan 'Cause my neighbors are half English too My breakfast was half English And so am I you know I had a plate of Marmite soldiers Washed down with a cappuccino And I'll have a veggie curry about once a week The next day a fry it up as "Bubble 'N' Squeak' 'Cause my appetite's half English And I'm half English too Dance with me To this very English melody From Morris Dancing to Morrisey All that stuff came from across the sea Britannia she's half English She speaks Latin at home St. George was born in the Lebanon How he got here I don't know And those three lions on his shirt They never sprung from England's dirt Them lions are half English And I'm half English too Le-li Umma le-li-ya, le-li Umma le-li-ya Le-li Umma le-li-ya, le-li, bledi g'desh akh! le-li-ya Oh my country Oh my country Oh my country What a beautiful country you are
