Pinking in a sinking sun Thinking of a summer long ago: When one was twenty-one. Naming all the flowers so friendly... Shouting at the shrubs so thick Lo, behold, Lobelia... One bite and the Bishop was sick, (Chorus:) How nice to be in England... Now that England's here, I stand upright in my wheelbarrow, And pretend I'm Boadicea. Hi Ho Hi Ho (Florrie) Shy goldfish shady in the green weed, By gad'flies giddy in the haze... Here I sit; I knit knit knit, With the garden gnomes, I say: (Chorus) How nice to be in England... Now that England's here, I stand upright in my wheelbarrow, And pretend I'm Boadicea. Hi Ho Hi Ho |

When along came a bloody great tank! Giok |
