Oh England My Lionheart,

I'm in your garden fading fast in your arms

The soldiers soften, the war is over

The air-raid shelters are blooming clover,

Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes

My London Bridge in rain again

Oh England My Lionheart

Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park

You read me Shakespeare on the Rolling Thames,

That old River Post that never, ever ends

Our Thumping hearts hold the Ravens in,

And keep the tower from tumbling



Chorus:

Oh England My Lionheart

I don't want to go



Oh England My Lionheart

Dropped from my Black Spitfire to my funeral barge,

Give me one kiss in the appleblossom,

Give me one wish and I'd be wassailing

In the orchard my English Rose,

Or with my shepherd who'll bring me home



Chorus
