THIS ENGLAND

Of all the places I have been

Britain is the best I’ve seen

It’s the simple little pleasures

That any visitor then treasures

Like having a lovely cup of tea

In a place called Battersea

Or eating Poppadoms and Chutney

In a restaurant down in Putney

Dining on a plate of stroganoff

With a couple name of Romanoff

Or playing frames of billiards

With a group of Irish guards

Eating duck pate on Melba toast

While relaxing on the Devon coast

On one night we even smoked pot

With some soldiers in Aldershot

But whether you intend eating Spam

In the midland’s city of Birmingham

Or enjoying bags of soggy chips

While visiting in the Mendip’s

Be sure to take a coat with you

As you’ll have a rainy day or two
