ABC Wednesday E is for England!

A bit of nonsense this week. Here are the words to the chorus so that you may all join in, no matter what your nationality.
 "The English, the English, the English are best,
I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest" 
Michael Flanders and Donald Swann  - usually referred to simply as Flanders and Swann - wrote and performed comic songs between 1956 and 1967. Michael Flanders was an actor and singer and Donald Swann was a composer, pianist and linguist. This performance pokes fun at everyone, but particularly the sort of Englishman who is a dyed-in-the-wool jingoist.
