Encoulez-Vous

It was June in twenty sixteen,
when the referendum scores came in,
against all odds, we won
so Brexit had begun,
We were not prepared one bit,
for three or more years of shit,
Encoulez-vous
Remoaners made it clear,
by promoting project fear,
they won't accept defeat,
but the taste is bittersweet,
when 52%,
have but one intent,
encoulez-vous.
The media are still in shock,
are we out or not?
M.P.s are mice – not men
With more bad news at ten.
So let's raise a pint of ale,
'cos Britain's not for sale,
encoulez-vous

Wake up Britain, it's time to get a grip,
“there's a mutiny onboard” said the captain of our ship,
the passengers are nervous and the crew is in a mess,
the hull is taking water, so send an S.O.S.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
Wake up.
Wake up Britain, ‘cos you’re fucking up my head,
we should be out there working but we're sound asleep in bed,
this affluent society must be overjoyed,
'cos they've nothing but contempt for the millions unemployed.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
Wake up.
Wake up Britain, ‘cos the future's ain’t so great,
get us out of Europe or condemn us to our fate,
it wasn’t long ago when Britannia ruled the waves,
but now it is the British who are destined to be slaves.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
Wake up..
I'm backing Britain but is Britain backing you?
I'm backing Britain but is Britain backing you?
I'm backing Britain but is Britain backing you?

There are jewels in the crown of England's glory,
And every jewel shines a thousand ways.
Frankie Howard, Noel Coward and garden gnomes,
Frankie Vaughan, Kenneth Horne, Sherlock Holmes,
Monty, Biggles and Old King Cole,
In the pink or on the dole,
Oliver Twist and Long John Silver, Captain Cook and Nelly Dean,
Enid Blyton, Gilbert Harding, Malcolm Sergeant, Graham Greene....
.
All the jewels in the crown of England's glory,
Too numerous to mention, but a few,
And every one could tell a different story,
And show old England's glory something new.
Nice bit of kipper and Jack the Ripper and Upton Park,
Gracie, Cilla, Maxie Miller, Petula Clark,
Winkles, Woodbines, Walnut Whips,
Vera Lynn and Stafford Cripps,
Lady Chatterley, Muffin the Mule, Winston Churchill, Robin Hood,
Beatrix Potter, Baden-Powell, Beecham's powders, Yorkshire pud....
With, Billy Bunter, Jane Austen, George Formby, Billy Fury,
Uncle Mac, Mr. Pastry and all
Uncle Mac, Mr. Pastry and all
Chorus
Somerset Maugham, top of the form and the Boys' Brigade,
Mortimer Wheeler, Christine Keeler and the Board of Trade,
Henry Cooper, Wakey Wakey, England's labour,
Standard Vanguard, spotted dick, England's workers,
Ian Dury.

This is England

A teenage murderer was sentenced for his crime,
with good behavior served a quarter of the time,
his victim never had a life, compared to mine,
‘cos this is England, this is England.
Bad news in the paper saw inflation on a high,
the bankers got their bonuses but god knows only why,
bailed out by the government, obliged to sell a lie.
‘cos this is England, this is England.
Is cruel Britannia dreaming ?
wake up, ‘cos England’s screaming,
no place for justice anymore.
Today I heard a story from a very dodgy source,
an M.P with his trousers down was covered up, of course,
photographic evidence but still showed no remorse,
‘cos this is England, this is England.
Somewhere in a factory on this god forsaken land,
the workers get a pittance for their bosses global plan,
production costs are minimal but retails for a grand,
‘cos this is England, this is England,
this is England, this is England,
this is England, this is England.
