Goodbye to my England, So long my old friendYour days are numbered, being brought to an endTo be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fineBut don't say you're English, that's way out of line.The French and the Germans may call themselves suchSo may Norwegians, the Swedes and the DutchYou can say you are Russian or maybe a DaneBut don't say you're English ever again.At Broadcasting House the word is tabooIn Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament tooEven schools are affected, staff do as they're toldThey must not teach children about England of old.Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and ShawThe pupils don't learn about them anymoreHow about Agincourt, Hastings , Arnhem or Mons ?When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.We are not Europeans, how can we be?Europe is miles away over the seaWe're the English from England, let's all be proudStand up and be counted - Shout it out loud !Let's tell our Government and Brussels tooWe're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and BlueFly the flag of Saint George or the Union JackLet the world know - WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK !!!!If you are English pass it on please or if you're just proud
