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

And I'm well familiar with the Hindustan

'Cause my neighbors are half English and I'm 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 have a veggie curry about once a week

The next day I fry it up as bubble and squeak

'Cause my appetites, half English and I'm half English too

Dance with me to this very English melody

From morris dancing to Morrissey

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 your shirt

They never sprang 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, bledi g'desh akh! le-li-ya

Oh, my country, what a beautiful country you are
