Based on the song ‘America’ from West Side Story, here is my satirical parody ‘Britannia’
Britannia
I like to be in Britannia,
ok for me in Britannia,
life will be great in Britannia,
if you have a few quid in Britannia.
I’ll get an uni education,
if you can pay to get in,
TV we can look up to,
when we’re not being lied to.
Life can be bright in Britannia,
if you look right in Britannia,
we can strive in Britannia,
if you find work in Britannia.
Sipping the tea in Britannia,
Shopping spree in Britannia,
Live like a queen in Britannia,
If you’re the Queen in Britannia.
You can be anything here,
There’s a lot of promise here,
You need to know your place here,
Promises to be broken here.
I like to be in Britannia,
ok for me in Britannia,
life will be great in Britannia,
if you have a few quid in Britannia!
