Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 thumpin' hearts hold the ravens in Keep the tower from tumblin' [Chorus] Oh, England my lionheart Oh, England my lionheart Oh, England my lionheart I don't want to go [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
