Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
The soldiers soften, the war is over.
The air raid shelters are blooming clover.
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes--
My London Bridge in rain again.
Oh ! England, my Lionheart !
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park.
You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames--
That old river poet that never, ever ends.
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,
And keep the tower from tumbling.
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go.
Oh ! England, my Lionheart !
Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge.
Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.
Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard, my English rose,
Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home.
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go.
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go. | Oh ! England, my Lionheart,
I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
