The Garden Of England |
| Way down south in the garden of England |
| We got a song to sing and we let it fill the air |
| We got it made, yeah, in the garden of England |
| Where the sun comes up to see us everyday |
| We feel like strangers but still we call it home |
| We got no reason but still we feel alone |
| But when the night comes, we can roll away the stone |
| To each his own, to each his own |
| Yeah, the simple life |
| We live at home in the garden of England |
| They got us on the run, we can feel it in the air |
| We got it made in the garden of England |
| Where we celebrate the English way of life |
| They had an empire, they give it all away |
| Their finest hour seems only yesterday |
| They still remember when Britannia ruled the waves |
| She ruled the waves, she ruled the waves, yeah |
| Yeah, the simple life |
| (We conservatives have always maintained the need) |
| (For an experiment with a tougher regime) |
| (For depriving young football hooligans of their leisure time) |
| (I can announce today) |
| (That the experiment promised in our election manifest) |
| (Is to begin in Surrey) |
| (These will be no holiday camps) |
| (We will introduce on a regular basis) |
| (Drill, parades and inspections) |
| (From 6:45 am 'til lights out at 9:30 pm) |
| (Life will be conducted at a brisk tempo) |
