the wurzels – give me england lyrics
[verse 1]
last year we took a chance, and went to paree, france
but all those can-cannin’ girls led us quite a dance
they folies bergeries ain’t all they seem to be
‘cos when a girl says “no, no,” she means “ooh arr, oui, oui”
[chorus]
so give me england every time, my dear
give me england any time of year
come on everybody raise a cheer, far and near
for the birds and the booze, now that summer’s here
[verse 2]
and when bouzoukis played a grecian serenade
we shed a tear in our beer for the price we paid
“this ain’t no place to be,” complained old jimmy lee
“ain’t got no bingo, the lingo’s all greek to me”
[chorus]
so give me england every time, my dear
give me england any time of year
come on everybody raise a cheer, far and near
for the birds and the booze, now that summer’s here
[verse 2]
i’ll never go again, across to sunny spain
to serenade a senorita ‘neath her window pane
what a palaver, on the costa brava
i didn’t know the matador was her father
[chorus]
so give me england every time, my dear
give me england any time of year
come on everybody raise a cheer, far and near
for the birds and the booze, now that summer’s here
[verse 3]
in nineteen seventy, we went to italy
to sample all the delights down in napoli
the signorinas there could not be keener there
‘cos i’ve a scar from her dad to prove that i was there
[chorus]
so give me england every time, my dear
give me england any time of year
come on everybody raise a cheer, far and near
for the birds and the booze, now that summer’s birds and the booze, now that summer’s birds and the booze, now that summer’s here
