Fans of the English

Father was an Irishman, Mother was a Scot
Fans of the English, I daresay, they were not Mother was a righteous woman, Father was a sot But loved them both, I did, and I'm glad they tied the knot CHORUS: One thing binds us together And it's loving for to hate A certain brand of certain man Who comes from England's state From land or sea or sky above If from England you hail You're not to find a welcome 'less you're bound by coffin nail Welshman for a cousin and a Frenchy for a wife Lord, I say, the Englishmen sure do cause us strife If not one thing, it's another, and the air itself is rife With tension borne of Englishmen living an English life CHORUS My family, it's true, may have some predispositions About their countries' neighbor and its certain predilections I s'pose hating the English is part of their constitutions If only I hadn't gone and done become an English citizen!
