Speaking of England and the English, there was these two Irishmen, two Scotsmen and two Englishmen
and they were stranded on a desert island.
After one year the two Irishmen had built a still and were making whiskey.
The two Scotsmen had built a pub and were selling it.
The two Englishmen still weren't talking because they hadn't been formally introduced.
You're a bad bunch and I think you need some revival.
My brother and I have written a little [D] gospel song just to make you feel good.
