Ye true honest Britons who love your own land
Whose sires were so brave, so victorious, so free,
Who always beat France when they took her in hand
Come join honest Britons in chorus with me.
Should the French dare invade us, thus armed with our poles,
We’ll bang their bare ribs, make their lantern jaws ring;
For your beef-eating, beer-drinking Britons are souls
Who will shed their last blood for their Country and King!
~POPULAR TAVERN SONG
