The Lion and the Unicorn Songtext
Lucky my fondness for this land
Exceeds the hatred I have
For you and your idle hands
On this we rely
For on the playing fields of Eton
Was won the Battle of Waterloo
But since then we′ve died
As and when you decide
The lion and the unicorn
Are wishing upon a star
Dieu et mon droit
Here's to the clatter of clogs in Lancashire
And to the red pillar boxes aside
Every road
To the pin tables of Soho
Here′s to the heaviness of our coins
And here's to the bitterness of our beer
And our gentle tone
She's a flavour all of her own
The lion and the unicorn
Are wishing upon a star
Dieu et mon droit
You′d think the knife of two new blades
And three new handles
Would be much sharper than it was before
It′s a hundred years maybe more
At least you got a good price for the razor blades
With which they'll slit our throats
All the money made′s
Gonna lay us out on the floor
The lion and the unicorn
Are wishing upon a star
Dieu et mon droit
Exceeds the hatred I have
For you and your idle hands
On this we rely
For on the playing fields of Eton
Was won the Battle of Waterloo
But since then we′ve died
As and when you decide
The lion and the unicorn
Are wishing upon a star
Dieu et mon droit
Here's to the clatter of clogs in Lancashire
And to the red pillar boxes aside
Every road
To the pin tables of Soho
Here′s to the heaviness of our coins
And here's to the bitterness of our beer
And our gentle tone
She's a flavour all of her own
The lion and the unicorn
Are wishing upon a star
Dieu et mon droit
You′d think the knife of two new blades
And three new handles
Would be much sharper than it was before
It′s a hundred years maybe more
At least you got a good price for the razor blades
With which they'll slit our throats
All the money made′s
Gonna lay us out on the floor
The lion and the unicorn
Are wishing upon a star
Dieu et mon droit
