All English Men By God Are Straight and Right

We English men are disciplined from birth Our poker face with upper lips are stiff We need not hug nor kiss to know our worth God save the queen will often give us lift Curries with chips, that is our national dish We don’t eat rice and but love our family nan In Birmingham we made the Balti fish Vindaloo and larger maketh this man For their green fields the Welsh we did attack The Irish Sea it also lent a hand Hadrian helped us keep the Scottish back A United Kingdom on face we stand Though beer with football sometimes make us fight All English men by God are straight and right
