THIS ENGLAND


from the ABC set HOLIDAY TALES

Of all the places I have been
Britain is the best I've seen
It's the simple little pleasures
That any visitor then treasures
Like having a lovely cup of tea
In a place called Battersea
Or eating Poppadoms and Chutney
In a restaurant down in Putney
Dining on a plate of stroganoff
With a couple name of Romanoff
Or playing frames of billiards
With a group of Irish guards
Eating duck pate on Melba toast
While relaxing on the Devon coast
On one night we even smoked pot
With some soldiers in Aldershot
But whether you intend eating Spam
In the midlands city of Birmingham
Or enjoying bags of soggy chips
While visiting in the Mendips
Be sure to take a coat with you
As you'll have a rainy day or two
