English farewell

Death at a gallop

Adventures we shared 

cold mother mary's

devil-may-care

turn 2 the englishman

find him not there

seems he ran 

musta got scared 

ran like a blister 

Quick as a bell 

s'much as a whisper

english farewell

they rob dupe & dissya

go back to womford 

go tell your sister

english farewell

no one could wishya

english farewell

they taunt you like woosters

they're sick in yor porridge 

they bawl like blue roosters

regale yu in sorries 

angel they croak 

descend into hell 

those englishmen damn you 

they leave a bad smell

came back a-Tuesday 

spent after swimmin

hi-fi turned on

record still spinning

englishman gone

scent of new women

they cosh yu with teases

that turn a dull girl

they love yu n leave ya

'sthe way of the world

An Englishman’s bye-bye

Is silent as lead

which falls in a vacuum

leaves yu 4 dead

They quoth ye good bye now 

english farewell

Those Englishmen ghost

your steeple's stairwell.
