Lyrics: "Little Britain" hear at: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ZDwnSK7HSSFG84GBT5SMK Little Britain © Jack Warshaw 2016 Tune: Little Stream of Whiskey (Doc Watson) Oh, give me back the good old days when Britannia ruled the waves And built a mighty empire on colonies and slaves We were stuck in Europe, but now we can be free Back in Little Britain the way it used to be I believed in Little Britain the way it used to be Fish and chips, wooden ships and folk all drinking tea We all cried cheers and drank warm beer and acted so polite Life was so delightful, and people looked alike We all hate the Euro, foie gras and ratatouille We all hate cappuccino, frogs legs and chablis They all smell like garlic their grub's a bleeding farce They can stuff their bleeding horse meat, right up their bleeding arse I believed in Little Britain the way it used to be Cricket bats, bowler hats and folk all drinking tea We all cried cheers and drank warm beer and acted so polite Life was so delightful, and people looked alike In days of old when knights were bold and peasants knew their place Smeared in Woad, but underneath were awfully pure of race Those Romans, Vikings, Saxons, who plundered, raped and stayed They were all so pleasant, not like immigrants today I believed in Little Britain the way it used to be Mother Goose, the hangman's noose and folk all drinking tea Up with ruling classes, down with Brussels bourgeoisie I believed in Little Britain so I voted O-U-T. I believed in jolly Boris, good old Nigel was true Brit But they fucked off like cowards and left us in the shit Now Boris is in government, the shit has hit the fan. The joker in the pack, has screwed us once again. I believed in Little Britain I thought I was true blue Till I found out the Brexiteers are bonkers through and through Now just like little lemmings they soon will have their wish When sorry Little Britain is falling off a cliff.
