"Merry Old England" lyrics
"Merry Old England"
I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
Just had to get to merry old England
Crisp packets and puddles on the ground
Welcome to merry old England
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know you've been around
Just had to get to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England?
With her chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light, oh
My, my, my, my congrats on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight
The illegals have landed in Dalby Square
Did they give you everything that you dreamed of?
A B&B and vouchers for three square
Is it everything that you dreamed of?
Oh yeah, now they're Russian through Albania
They've got to get to Merry Old England
And Syrians, Iraqis, and Ukrainians
Oh, how you finding merry old England?
With her chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light, oh
My, my, my, my, congrats on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight
I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
Welcome to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England? Yeah
I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
You had to get to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England?
Oh, with your chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light
Oh my, my, my, my good luck on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight
No, I don't need your visa, mate, no
I don't need a ticket, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
I can climb your fence, I can scale your wall, I climb your cliffs
Don't need your visa, mate
I've got a dinghy, mate
Oh, keep your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
No, I don't need a ticket, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
I'll make it to merry old England
Don't need your visa, mate
I'm coming to merry old England
Don't need your visa, mate
Gonna rule old England
Don't need your visa, mate
Get one over on old England
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Don't need your visa, mate
Welcome to merry old England
