The English, The English, The English are best
Do you know that Flanders and Swann are being introduced to children in some Primary Schools to illustrate wit and rhyme -as well as the jaunty music. This, their 'Patriotic Song', is obviously not mentioned. They take a look at the Irishman.
"The Irishman now our contempt is beneath
He sleeps in his boots and he lies through his teeth
He blows up policemen or so I have heard
And blames it on Cromwell and William the Third"
