england, half english

Singer:billy bragg

my mother was half english

and i'm half english too

i'm a great big bundle of culture

tied up in the red

white and blue

i'm a fine example of your essex man

i'm well familiar with the hindustan

'cause my neighbors are half english too

my breakfast was half english

and so am i you know

i had a plate of marmite soldiers

washed down with a cappuccino

and i'll have a veggie curry about once a week

the next day a fry it up as bubble 'n' squeak'
