lyrics

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.
