You know, it's a curious thing, I don't know if you've ever thought of this,
_ _ but England hasn't really got a national song.
You know, just for England, there's plenty for Great Britain,
but that's quite different, you have to be very careful how you use those terms too.
The rule is, if we've done anything good, it's another triumph for Great Britain.
And if we haven't, it's England loses again.
_ Have you noticed that?
All the others, they've got songs about their countries,
you know, the Scots, like Scotland for I, or for me, as it should more properly be.
_ And the Welsh and the Irish have got songs saying how marvellous they are,
making rude remarks about the English in their own languages.
In the case of the Welsh, I think this is the pot calling the sospen wach. _ _
_ _ _ _ _
What English national song have we got? _

_ _ _ _ There'll always be an England.
Well, that's not saying much, is it?

_ Any more than we bothered to put our names on our stamps.
I mean, there's only two kinds of stamps.
English stamps in sets, at the beginning of the album, foreign stamps all mixed up. _ _ _
Any given can tell you that.
But nowadays, _ _ nowadays nationalism is on the up and up,
and everybody has a national song but us Americans have national songs,
like My Country Tis of Thee, which they sing to the tune of God Save the Queen, I may say,
_ which together with their long-range forecasting of our weather I find hard to give. _
Yes, and the Germans, whatever you say about the Germans, and who doesn't,
they're marvellous, _ what a marvellous song that was, German, German _ overalls.
Now there's a song. _ _ _ _
_ We, well, the moment has come and none too soon.
We have a song here, we have a song here which I think fills this long felt bottle,
and I hope that all true-born English men and women in our audience will join in the last chorus.
And if you don't have the good fortune to be English true-born, or a man or a woman,
I hope you'll join in as an ordinary mark of simple decent respect.
_ _ _ This song starts with, I think, very typical
