Lyrics

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 poet that never, ever ends
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in
And keep the tower from tumbling

Oh! england, my lionheart
Oh! england, my lionheart
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 apple-blossom
Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard, my english rose
Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home

Oh! england, my lionheart
Oh! england, my lionheart
Oh! england, my lionheart
Oh! england, my lionheart
Oh! england, my lionheart
I don't want to go
