Goodbye to my England, so long my old friend,
Your days they are numbered, being brought to an end.
To be Scottish or Irish or Welsh is just fine,
But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.

The French and the Germans may call themselves such,
As may the Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch,
You can say you are Russian, or maybe a Dane,
But don't say you're English, not ever again.

At Broadcasting House, this word is taboo,
In Brussels they have scrapped it, in Parliament too,
Even schools are affected, staff do as they're told,
They must not teach our children about the England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw,
Don't pupils learn about these anymore?
Hastings and Agincourt, Arnhem or Mons.
Where England lost many of her brave sons.

We are not European, how on earth can we be?
Europe is miles away over the sea.
We are English from England, so let's all be proud,
And stand and be counted and shout it out loud.

Let's tell our Government, tell the suits in Brussels too,
We are proud of our heritage, the red, white and blue.
Fly the flag of Saint George, or the Union Jack,
Tell all of the world we want our own country back.
