MADE IN ENGLAND

MADE IN ENGLAND

This is my kingdom My castle My home

I don’t wear a crown Nor sit on a throne

I am such a lady But have no title you see

I am high and mighty When I want to be But do quite enjoy

A nice cup of tea.

My flags hang proudly Outside of my door

All of them commoners Stare on with awe

I don’t talk posh That’s really not me I have my four princes

His lordship as well Still I need a butler

To ring on a bell I’m quite eccentric; I’m hip and so bold

Suppose that’s the best way before I’m too old.

I don’t need gold coins. Or fancy old rings

Music and laughter Are my favorite things

I’m proud and outspoken. Say what I think

I love a good singsong. And even a drink

I’m proud to be ENGLISH. Don’t care what you think!
