He dresses like a girl
She dresses like his boyfriend
His brother temped
At Marks and Sparks
But only on weekends
His father smoked two packs a day
And played away
Died peacefully in the end
And all the Dunkirk memories
Died with him
The greatest generation
They want their England back
And God save the Queen
God save the Queen
They want to rule Britannia
Like Ray Davies sings
She waits in line
So patiently
For her National Health glasses
They long for strawberries and cream
And Wimbledon grasses
Wake me up with cup of Tetley
A slice of Hovis
Eggs, bacon and beans
But the rain is falling down
It's falliing down it's falling down
On Coronation Street
They want their England back
And God save the Queen
God save the Queen
They want to rule Britannia
Like Ray Davies sings
He made his bed each day
Exactly the way
He learned in the army
When Hurricanes and Spitfires fly
Swarm in the sky
And white cliffs cry
They want their England back
And God save the Queen
God save the Queen
They want to rule Britannia
Like Ray Davies sings
