God Bless England

[Verse 1]
Oh, I'll tell you a tale of peace and love
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
Of a land that rules all lands above
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
May peace and plenty be her share
Who kept our homes from want and care
Oh, "God bless England" is our prayer
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day

[Chorus]
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
So we say "hip hooray"
Come and listen while we pray
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day

[Verse 2]
Now our fathers oft were naughty boys
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
For pikes and guns are dangerous toys
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
At Ballinabué and at Peters Hill
We made poor England cry her fill
But old Brittania loves us still
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day

[Chorus]
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
So we say "hip hooray"
God bless England so we pray
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day

[Verse 3]
Now, when we were savage, fierce and wild
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
She came as a mother to her child
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
Gently raised us from the slime
And kept our hands from hellish crime
And she sent us to heaven in our own good time
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day

[Chorus]
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
So we say "hip hooray"
God bless England so we pray
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day

[Verse 4]
Well, now Irish men forget the past
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
And think of the day that's coming fast
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
When we shall all be civilized
Neat and clean and well advised
Oh, won't Mother England be surprised?
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day

[Chorus]
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
So we say "hip hooray"
God bless England so we pray
Whack fol the diddle o the die do day
