Lyrics

Why does England lead the world Queen and Empire understand Oh, England valiant rock of splendour Lion hearted land The Queen The Queen Englishmen have style and flair To cope with all their needs Little things accomplished well Will lead to greater deeds It's because we have the taste And know a good cigar Half the map is coloured red And we are where we are Why does England lead the world Queen and Empire understand Oh, England valiant rock of splendour Lion hearted land The Prince of Wales The Prince of Wales Well I must comment on this wine Its character is strong Its impudence is striking And its flavour lingers long We can spot these subtleties In this we stand alone The foreigners are only there To see the grapes get grown Why does England lead the world Queen and Empire understand Oh, England valiant rock of splendour Lion hearted land W.G. Grace W.G. Grace The workers in our factories All recognise their place We'd love to entertain them But we haven't got the space We know that they are splendid chaps Beneath the dust and grime We'd love to mingle with them But we haven't got the time Why does England lead the world Queen and Empire understand Oh, England valiant rock of splendour Lion hearted land The Empire The Empire England has the leaders Who are chosen by us all Who can fail to stand with pride Each time our ports recall Canning, Peel, and Palmerston Lord Castle, Rae, and Grey These and others like them made us What we are today Our noble British Empire Is our present to the world Hear, hear Joy is omnipresent Where our banners are unfurled Capital It's amazing how these native fellows Toe the line Gunboats in the harbour And locals down the mine Why does England lead the world Queen and Empire understand Oh, England valiant rock of splendour Lion hearted land Oh, England valiant rock of splendour Lion hearted land
