Churchill had a sign for it
Nelson lost an eye for it
Shakespeare wrote the words
We all salute you
The Beatles rocked the world with hits
Errol Flynn starred in it
Rolls Royce made the others sick
We're still making history
Oh we ruled the waves
Oh we ruled the waves
Drake he sank the Spanish ships
Her majesty reigns over it
Remember world cup sixty six
And dear Bobby Charlton
The Rockers and the Mods
Blackpool and its Tower
Morecamb and the wise
Sir Lawrence Olivier
Oh we ruled the waves
Oh we ruled the waves
All this is England's Glory
Lie back and think of all the things we've done
All this is England's Glory
No-one can take away our finest hour
Robin and his merry men
The hall of fame at No. 10
Guy Fawkes lit the Parliament
And went for the big one
Henry and his wives
Rupert is bear
Richard of the round
And Billy Smarts Circus
All this is England's Glory
Lie back and think of all the things we've done
All this is England's Glory
No-one can take away our finest hour
All the Hooray Henrys go to Oxford and Cambridge
While the working class build the motorways
The Royals choose their brides while they're out
Playing Polo but no-one gives a damn cause we like it that way
Maggie's kept the boys in place
Prince Charles grows a Monarch's face
Concorde roars and sets the pace, the reading of the Times
Tales of Sherlock Holmes, it's great to be British
Oh we ruled the waves
Oh we ruled the waves
All this is England's Glory
Lie back and think of all the things we've done
All this is England's Glory
No-one can take away our finest hour
