歌詞

Prime Minister and Cabinet:
Why does England lead the world?
Queen and empire understand
Oh England valiant rock of splendour
Lion-hearted land

Englishmen have style and flair
To cope with all their needs
Little things accomplished well
Will lead to greater deeds
It's because we have the taste
And know a good cigar
Half the map is coloured red
And we are where we are

Why does England lead the world?
Queen and empire understand
Oh England valiant rock of splendour
Lion-hearted land

I must comment on this wine
It's character is strong
Its impudence is striking
And it's flavour lingers long
We can spot these subtleties
In this we stand alone
The foreingers are only there
To see the grapes get grown

Why does England lead the world?
Queen and empire understand
Oh England valiant rock of splendour
Lion-hearted land

The workers in our factories
All recognise their place
We'd love to entertain them but
We haven't got the space
We know that they are splendid chaps
Beneath the dust and grime
We'd love, to mingle with them but
We haven't got the time

Why does England lead the world?
Queen and empire understand
Oh England valiant rock of splendour
Lion-hearted land

England has the leaders
Who are chosen by us all
Who can fail to stand with pride
Each time our thoughts recall
Canning, peel and palmerston
Lord Castlereagh and Gray
These and others like them
Made us what we are today

Our noble British empire
Is our present to the world
joy is omnipresent
Where our banners are unfurled
It's amazing how these native
Fellows toe the line
Gunboats in the Harbour
And the locals down the mine

Why does England lead the world?
Queen and empire understand
Oh England valiant rock of splendour
Lion-hearted land
Oh England valiant rock of splendour
Lion-hearted land
