Oh faded glory, tattered flag So long the leader,now the lag Not long ago you showed the World You led them all with flag unfurled With moral strong, you lit the way But as the dog, you've had your day Too long you wollowed in your past And like the hare you've come in last You strode ahead then took a rest You fell asleep, came second best The greatest Empire ever seen Has vanished,was it all a dream?. When did that bulldog spirit part Stiff upperlip, the lionheart Evaporated in the night Into the ether, lost to sight I wish we could regain some pride Once were warriors, now we hide.
