Not So Great Britain Lyrics

Take one policeman whose job is tough Investigating a cover-up Looks to his
colleagues for support Gets accused of nothing has to leave the force Not so
Great Britain Not So Great Britain Not So Great And who knows why We pride
ourselves on our sporting name Soccer after all is our national game And in
Europe our teams are banned It's not the players they don't like It's the fans
Not so Great Britain Not So Great Britain Not So Great And who knows why It's
the land of hope and glory Where every school is preparatory (early) No wonder
on election night Tories always win outright I was taught at school it's wrong
to tell lies That golden rule it seems no longer applies next time your teacher
says you lied here's proof just say you're being economical with the truth Not
so Great Britain Not So Great Britain Not So Great And who knows why In the
kingdom of Jackanory Where every picture it sells a story Woe is me what have
we done Goodbye Hong Kong it's been fun I know how I feel when a child is sick
You want to t

reat it and treat it quick But what's going to happen when
the doctor Says We'd love to treat you but we have no beds Not so Great Britain
Not So Great Britain Not So Great And who knows why So great in so many ways But
not in others So cool nobody's fool Like any other
