Typically English Songtext
von Leslie Bricusse

My mother said I never should play
With young men in the Wood.
If I did, she would say naughty
Little girl to disobey

I′m a typically English rosebud
Born of typically English stock
With a typically Anglo-Saxon Family tree
I received my education in a typically
English way, at a typically English
Girl academy.

I play typically English Tennis
At a typically English Club, with
A typically English feeling for Fair Play
I eat typically English crumpets with my
Typically English tea at the end of every
Typically English day.


Father is a typically English Colonel,
Home is a typically English Country town
Mummi and I play typically English
Patience while the typically English
Rain is pooring down

Father wears a typically Beatle haircut
Plays the guitar, which makes father
Rather rich, father sometimes looks much
More like mother, and when they're
Together, you can′t tell which is which

When I go to typically English Dances
Mother give me typically sound advice
How to cope with typically coarse advances
Though I'm bound to confess I find them rather nice

In the typically English summer we take typically
English trips, to a typically seaside place with Auntie Maude

We've a typically English spaniel who likes typically English walks
Past the typically English trees across the heath
And if anyone asks me how I like this typically
English life, I am fed up to my typically English teeth.

So bloody bored ...
