Havard, this should be the one you are looking for. Wolfgang knwe I had this lyric and told me to post it. I'm sorry I didn't before, I just missed this thread. Cheers. Ezio

CAPTAIN AND THE KINGS

Don't be pass remarkable
Said your man with the medals on his chest
They were not only says he they were giants
That was a queer old giant that ordered them to shell the
G.P.O. officer gentlemen and sportsmen
With a sense of fair play
Well that's their story

I remember in September when the final stumps were drawn
And she shouts of crowds now silent as the boys tratee had gone
Let us, Oh Lord above us, still remember simple things
When all our dead who love us on the Captain and the kings

We have many goods for export, christian ethics And old port,
But our greatest boast is the Anglo-saxone is a sport
On the playing fields of Eaton we still do silly things,
Do not think we were beaten said the captain and the kings

Faraway in dear old Cyprus or in Kenya Dusty land
Where all bear the white man's burden in many a strange land
As we look across our shoulder in west Belfast The school bell rings
And we side for dear old England Oh the captains and the kings

In our dream we see old Hallow and we hear the crowds loud call
As the flower show our big meadow takes the prize from Evalyn Waugh
Cups of tea and some dry sherry, vintage cars, these simple things,
So let’s drink up and be merry Oh the captains and the kings

By the moons that shine above us in the misty morn and night
let us cease to run ourselves down and praise God that we are white
But better still were English tea and toast and muffin rings
And the old ladies with stern faces and the captain and the kings
