WALKING BACKWARDS

Who bred the dog without a nose?
How does it breath nobody knows
Cut off air flow to his mind
To culturally retard him blind
Now a mascot of our land
Clumsy, stupid-ugly and damned
Hair parted to one side
Strangled with a blue neck tie

I thought we'd left behind
The blue, white, red and pompous kind
But it seems we're walking back
Walking backwards oh clap clap

He doth not recognise this place
Not a single homely face
Culture threatened by the sods
Who come and steal all of the jobs
Pipe and slippers evening news
Really douses all his blues
He owns a house, he owns a car
The list is endless blah blah blah

INSTRUMENTAL

Bowler perched aloft his head
Sunday paper he has read
Opinions formed and stomach fat
Roast beef & Yorkshire’s comfy sat
No more spicy curried yuck
No more nasty foreign muck
This is how it's always rightly been
He'll sing the anthem to his Queen
