Lyrics

[Verse 1] I love to see those British roads, so free from advertising slogans And I love those steering wheels that are the wrong side from my way Cuz I love each time I spot one British dog that's riding shotgun Cuz to me a dog in a left-side seat looks like it's driving down the highway I love green sheet fields with all edges Bound by old stone walls and hedges And the sticks, the vibes, the charming mix Of farmer, punk, and druid That mist's more mystic than where I'm from But on this list the shock biggest to come Is that one other thing I really love in England is the food [Chorus] Some say Los Angеles seems strange to us And New York seems so dangеrous Some say the Germans all are cold And the Parisians all are rude Yeah there's many stereotypes that we could set to rights tonight And the single thing that I love most in England just might be the food [Verse 2] I love that roasted mixed root grub And I love those dinners in a pub Which this cozy medieval tavern culture England's most chock-full of You might take them as low-class, crap, or cruddy But I even like a bacon bap or butty And I love that they're sold on the side of the road From some truck in a pull-off I love that in most gas service stations Parking and inside the supermarket And Yorkshire pudding with gravy too Looks sure good on forks or plates I gotta drop a good word in this for A proper fish and chips with vinegar And tikka masala's found in all the tiny towns And that's not true in the States [Chorus] Some say Los Angeles seems strange to us And New York seems so dangerous Some say the Germans all are cold And the Parisians all are rude Yeah there's many stereotypes that we gotta fight to set to rights And the single thing that I love most in England just might be the food [Verse 3] Even though back in the UK and Europe They still are lackin' maple syrup You must respect that English breakfast options crush the USA Cuz for us men who don't like eggs The US breakfast menu begs the question Whatchu gonna get except for pancakes every day? So the British breakfast caf, with options huge and prices half That caf is a feat institution needed in America I say! In US trips from Queens to Fresno Chips and beans? Survey says no Even though the Brits expect me to renounce How to correctly pronounce café It's great there, don't forget it We gotta give the Brits come credit Don't complain just cuz there's rain Or cuz the press is often crude Corroborate it if you read it Don't care what snobs have ever said it Cuz the thing that I love most in England just might be the food
