letra de roast beef of old england - jerry bryant

Loading...

when mighty roast beef was the englishman’s food
it enn0bled our veins and enriched our blood
our soldiers were brave and our courtiers were good
oh, the roast beef of old england!
and old english roast beef!

but since we have learnt from all-vapouring france
to eat their ragouts as well as to dance
we are fed up with nothin’ but vain complaisance
oh, the roast beef of old england!
and old english roast beef!

our fathers of old were robust, stout, and strong
and kept open house, with good cheer all day long
which made their plump tenants rejoice in this song
oh, the roast beef of old england!
and old english roast beef!

when good queen elizabeth sat on the throne
n’ere coffee, or tea, and such slip-slops were known
the world was in terror if e’er she did frown
oh, the roast beef of old england!
and old english roast beef!

in those days, if fleets did presume on the main
they seldom, or never, returned back again
as witness, the vaunting armada of spain
oh, the roast beef of old england!
and old english roast beef!
britannia’s high trident still wavin’ on high
bid her tars all be true and their foes all defy
to avenge all her wrongs they will conquer or die
like brave jolly tars of old england!
the conquering brave british tars!

now fill up a glass while a bumper we have
to howe, jervis, duncan and nelson the brave
to the bold british tars, who now rule on the wave
huzzah for the bulwarks of england!
and health to each bold british tar!
