From England's Green and Pleasant Land

 Rule Britannia!

My passport says British Citizen,
I tend to say that I'm English,
in fact I'm British and English.
I live in England, Great Britain.
So I'm both, you see.

One thing is for certain,
I'm not a European,
although technically I am.
Europe is full of foreigners,
and I'm definitely not one of them!

Now there's nothing wrong with foreigners,
apart from their language,
and their food.
If we didn't have foreigners,
who else would we insult?

There'd be no one else to argue with,
we'd have to fight ourselves in wars.
No more sending out a gunboat,
it'd be Cavaliers and Roundheads once more!

Now I'm really not a racist,
this is only a bit of fun.
So don't get all huffy and outraged,
you bloody foreign scum!

Just leave me to be English,
and British through and through.
But never,
ever say,
I'm from the abbreviated Yew Kay!
