It must be cool to be british
to have that accent thing
sets American girls to swooning
with the promises it brings
It must be cool to be british
where the beatles started it all
if a yank mentions chuck or elvis
they say "you're daft is all"
..and they're always singing
lalalalala that's what I got to say
I'm busy saving the Queen you sod
so I gotta be on my way
It must be cool to be british
and play that football game
bash skulls of other blokes
who don't dress the same
It must be cool to be british
sign up for the dole
spend your days drinking pints of Guinness
fish and chips for the soul
..and they're always singing
lalalalala that's what I got to say
I'm busy saving the Queen you sod
so I gotta be on my way
I'm still upset my friend
about that 1812 diss
but I'm getting to know you brits
and you're always taking the piss
always taking the piss
It must be cool to be british
well I'll be gobsmacked
seeing all that crack you're having
it's the royalty I lack
It must be cool to be british
when you hit a party stag
you can bop off to the loo
and sneak a crafty fag
it must be cool to be british
unless you're Irish and say boo
in which case they'll bow politely
right before they shoot you
