they voted BREXIT

they voted Brexit not remain
retake control with little pain
but will be as they want it to be
with crumpets and afternoon tea
raising hat so courteously
nostalgia? or history
no croissant, but demanding toast
no cheek kissing for the host
a firm hand shake a look severe
pork scratching and warm flat beer
black pudding and a bowl of tripe
real coins to pay not a card to swipe
regain, regain, we'll take it all back
our football violence and the union Jack
we'll have barley water instead of wine
now our great nation is in decline

wait, I hear you say so bold
the world out there is far from cold
there will be markets, they will be found
for that cheep China tack we're a dumping ground
we will expand our culture just wait and see
with McDonald's and KFC
and those American crime stories on TV
to match the blandness of reality
we are a nation proud and bold
and we'll go to war when we're told
our independence we are fond
and will obey our orders from beyond the pond
work will depend of the colour of your collar
and the exchange rate between the pound and Dollar
