THE ENGLAND OF WINSTON

 

The England of Winston

Did it ever exist?

Those days long past

When we had our finest hour

 

The England of Winston

When national pride

Was not frowned upon

But openly celebrated

 

The England of Winston

Must be an invention

For it is so far removed

From what I see today

 

England without Winston

Is not pride worthy

It has no identity

And no sense of itself

THANK GOD FOR WINSTON

 

When on TV, Winston Churchill

Was voted the greatest Britain

It restored my faith, a little

In my fellow countrymen

Although equally

It would not in truth

Have surprised me in the least

If they had considered

A musician and lyricist

To have contributed more to the nation

And they voted for John Lennon
