This is England

A dose of the Queen or Dame Vera never disappoints
And Johnson on the telly trying to earn Churchill points
With the government and the media to guide us
We can have a day off from fighting the virus

This is England
Where every man’s castle is his home
This is England
And we’ll fight the virus on our own

You must remember when we beat Europe at the war
You must remember the freedoms that we were fighting for
The Italians have the highest European death toll
But we ain’t under EU control

This is England
Where every man’s castle is his home
This is England
And we’ll fight the virus on our own

China gave us warning, but we don’t care
The WHO gave us warning but we don’t care
The Spanish gave us warning but we don’t care
The Italians gave us warning but we don’t care

This is England
Where every man’s castle is his home
This is England
And we’ll fight the virus on our own

Two years ago we celebrated 70 years of the NHS
And where was your bunting, your trestle tables, cucumber sandwiches and the rest?

This is England
Where every man’s castle is his home
This is England
And we’ll fight the virus on our own
