The British
The anthem most widespread
has not a patriotic word said
An Island the world was led
Royalty sits state head
Patriotic anthems
historic outcomes
not in Britain
We’re proud without one
Our story told without being sung
the empire never setting sun
countries unite as their song sung
our anthem just a chant for fun
Asking a God we don’t believe in
save our German Queen we allow
To French music, how amusing,
true pride we don't say aloud.
British pride
most proud
