Текст песни

My mother was half English

And I'm half English too

I'm a great big bundle of culture

Tied up in the red, white and blue

I'm a fine example of your Essex man

I'm well familiar with the Hindustan

'Cause my neighbors are half English too

My breakfast was half English

And so am I you know

I had a plate of Marmite soldiers

Washed down with a cappuccino

And I'll have a veggie curry about once a week

The next day a fry it up as "Bubble 'N' Squeak'

'Cause my appetite's half English

And I'm half English too

Dance with me

To this very English melody

From Morris Dancing to Morrisey

All that stuff came from across the sea

Britannia she's half English

She speaks Latin at home

St. George was born in the Lebanon

How he got here I don't know

And those three lions on his shirt

They never sprung from England's dirt

Them lions are half English

And I'm half English too

Le-li Umma le-li-ya, le-li Umma le-li-ya

Le-li Umma le-li-ya, le-li, bledi g'desh akh! le-li-ya

Oh my country

What a beautiful country you are
