I'm not British,
No, I'm not.
I've got a bit of Irish
And I've got a lot of Scot.
There's probably some Norman French
Branching up and down my tree,
But I'm not British,
No, not me.
I'm not British,
I can't say that.
I've got some Dane
And a gal from Spain
Underneath my hat
I think my distant grandma
bounced a Norse babe on her knee,
But I'm not British,
No, not me.
I'm not British,
I always must confess.
Both Yankee gals
And Southern Belles
Passed down the same white dress
I'm Yank and Bloody Rebel
And a Continental too…
So I'm not British,
But I'll still love you!
It just seemed like it needed some words.
Ought to do well with a fife and drum type tune.
Oh, and (c)2017 Howard Shirley (which is me).
