The English
The English
(Flanders & Swan)
The rottenest bits of these islands of ours
We've left in the hands of three unfriendly powers
Examine the Irishman, Welshman or Scot
You'll find he's a stinker as likely as not
The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest
The Scotsman is mean as we're all well aware
He's boney and blotchy and covered with hair
He eats salty porridge, he works all the day
And hasn't got bishops to show him the way
The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest
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
The English are moral the English are good
And clever and modest and misunderstood
The Welshman's dishonest, he cheats when he can
He's little and dark more like monkey than man
He works underground with a lamp on his hat
And sings far too loud, far too often and flat
The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest
And crossing the channel one cannot say much
For the French or the Spanish, the Danish or Dutch
The Germans are German, the Russians are red
And the Greeks and Italians eat garlic in bed
The English are noble, the English are nice
And worth any other at double the price
And all the world over each nation's the same
They've simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won
And they practice before hand which spoils all the fun
The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest
It's not that they're wicked or naturally bad
It's just that they're foreign that makes them so mad
The English are all that a nation should be
And the pride of the English are Chipper and me
The English the English the English are best
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest

Honest answer? We're not. Most of the world hates us and our only claim to fame is winning the world cup 40 odd years ago. Thats isn't good. I'm hoping that maybe my ginger hair will tell me I'm Scottish or Irish. Either way it beats being English!

You wish! Okay after reading Emma jea's answer heres whats so freaking bad about the English. They insult everyone and say they rule(thats where America takes it off of, not their fault, just some faulty genes) They don't just insult one, they insult everyone. They say the scots eat haggis, the Irish eat patotos and that all Americans are fat. The French are weak. Choses one enemy not a million. Why don't they just go riot some more. Yes Emma the scots do work. We are hardworking unlike the English who live on benefits. We invented a lot. Okay but like my name says thank god we ain't English. I would rather be living in bagdad than England. lol :p

We have a history of superiority, we are the natural rulers of the world, the highest form of humanity.
America is what happens when English genes are mixed with lesser.

We are not. Never generalise! Each person is different, better at some things and worse at others. Some are nice and some are nasty. It doesn't matter what your race or creed, you can be a good person or a bad person.
