I′m the go-to guy when the going gets tough
And the goings gone mad and I've kinda had enough
I say it how it is I tell you to your face
The reason i am here′s to put you in your place
After death and taxes and the laws
The only other certainty my friend is Ford
We gave the world the very first production line
And we will be right here until the end of time
We tell you what to do and you do as we say
We are the top guard, you love to hate
And you are our poodle, the 51st state
We're so much bigger, we're so much better
And our sun is hotter, our water wetter
We move faster and further too
Basically we′re totally superior to you!
Anarchists, Communists, we fought them till we won
We saw off Jimmy Hoffa and his teamsters scum
We bought all the public transport and then shut it down
And now the cars the only way to get around town
We′re so much better and I'm not being mean
We′ve got route 66, you've got the A13
We gave you rock and roll, you gave us Cilla Black
Well thanks a lot for nothing, you can have her back
We′re all straight, and you're all gay
We are the top guard, you love to hate
And you are our poodle, the 51st state
Get off your high horse, put away your sermon
If it weren′t for us, you'd be speaking German
And while we're here, there′s one thing more
You still owe us money, from the second world war
Aluminium, Basil, Tuna, Original
Patronise, Edinborough, Jaguar, Iraq
Croissant, yogurt, Caribbean, urban
Pecan, chamomile, Notre-Dame
Vase, Parisian, urinal, vitamin
You guys can′t even speak english!
Now don't forget that, you do as we say
We got the t-shirts, and you got the vests
You′re simply the worst, and we're simply the best
We got Hollywood and Vegas too
You got Thames TV and Whipsnade Zoo
We got a president, we got Superman!
You got Prince Charles and guess where again
And you do what you do or want to do
And you do what you do, you have to realise
And you do what you do or want to do
And you do what you do, you have to substitise
You can pick it and chose with Ford
That′s your ticket to lose with Ford
One thing certain of us this strike
Get ready Dagenham, get back to work it on your fight
We've got cops with guns, we′ blow you away
We got the Kennedy's, we've got Scoobie Doo
You got Teddy and Danny Maru
We got the White House, you got number 10
We got the Empire State, which messes your Big Ben
We got sea music because remember this
There′d be no freaking Beatles, without Elvis!
