English National Anthem Comp

[john]

Hey

Considering a current topic about the English national anthem (which there isn't, only a British one), I thought we could have an informal lyric competition.

The challenge is to write the lyrics for an English anthem, to the tune of "Nellie the Elephant".

Any takers?

Cheers

I started the Petition to get the issue raised that England does not have one.

Please start writing and sign the petition to the Prime Minister.

Otherwise you could get stuck with one of the Old Favourites, Jerusalem, Land of hope and Glory or Three Lions.

The choice is yours, please follow the link below.

New National Anthem Please

Nelly or even Vindaloo as long as we can sing it

We could call it 'Wembley The Elephant'...

All I remember is

Nellie the elephant packed her trunk

And trundled off to the circus

Off she went with a trumpetty-trump.

Trump-trump-trump.

Jug any mammary ?

We could call it 'Wembley The Elephant'...

That's nice...

Here we go then! Two verses and a chorus!

I'm in England I'm alright

got no anthem, what a plight!

Global warming what a laff

Not for me boy, I'm not daft!

Green and pleasant, not round 'ere

Concrete jungles soon appear

Wales is where I want to be,

Or the highlands, might suit me!

England England please consider

Sold out to the highest bidder

What you see is what you get

Gordons dropped us deep in debt.

No tune yet.

[Lazz]

No tune yet.

Oh sod it !!

Now you tell me.

I struggled all the way trying to sing it to 'Nellie The Elephant'.

How's about this for a starter for ten:

Chorus:

England, England in my blood

almost as much as cider

The brass band plays, trumpety trump,

Thump, thump, thump

England, England better than Wales

The Scots and Irish are drunkards

The brass band plays trumpety trump

Thump, thump thump

[Steve]

Oh sod it !!

Now you tell me.

I struggled all the way trying to sing it to 'Nellie The Elephant'.

It was a ploy.
