A thousand years in just one place

We kept it strong, we kept it safe

This rough and tumble island race

Surrounded by the sea

Spanish Armada, Nazi bombs

We stood together proud and strong

And kept these islands all along

Sovereign and...

Free as the ocean that surrounds us

We are who we have always been

We are the Brits

You better get used to it

We're the Brits

Don't try to give us any

We are the Brits

One percent of the human race

We're the Brits

And we are in your face

We gave the world penicillin

Phone and fax and television

Electric light, commercial jets

A global language, the internet

Tennis, cricket, golf, football

Rugby, squash, Queensbury Rules

Shakespeare, Chaplin, photography

Parliamentary democracy

We are the Brits

You better get used to it

We're the Brits

Don't try to give us any

We are the Brits

One percent of the human race

We're the Brits

And we are in your face

God save our Gracious Queen

Long live our noble Queen

Send her victorious

Happy and glorious

Long to reign over us

God save the...

Britain sleeps safe at night

Young men stand ready to fight

Those who would do us harm

Freedom assured by force of arms

Soldier, sailor, RAF

We walk free, they stood the test

Toughness, courage, humour, soul

And our boys in Helmand, still on patrol

While their families wait and wonder

But they don't make a fuss of it

We are the Brits

You better get used to it

We're the Brits

Don't try to give us any

We are the Brits

One percent of the human race

We're the Brits

And we are in your face<br />

<br />
