lirik lagu the captains and the kings – dominic behan

[verse 1]
i remember in september, when the final stumps were drawn
and the shouts of crowds now silent, and the boys to tea had gone
let us, oh lord above us, still remember simple things
when all are dead who love us, oh the captains and the kings
when all are dead who love us, oh the captains and the kings

[verse 2]
we have many goods for export, christian ethics and old port
but our greatest boast is that the anglo*saxon is a sport
when the darts game it is finished, and the boys their game of rings
and the draughts and chess relinquished, oh the captains and the kings
and the draughts and chess relinquished, oh the captains and the kings
[verse 3]
far away in dear old cyprus, or in kenya’s dusty land
where we bear the white man’s burden, in many a strange land
as we look across our shoulder, in west belfast the school bell rings
and we sigh for dear old england, and the captains and the kings
and we sigh for dear old england, and the captains and the kings

[verse 4]
in our dreams we see old harrow, and we hear the crow’s loud caw
at the flower show our big marrow, takes the prize from mister waugh
cups of tea, or some dry sherry, vintage cars, these simple things
let’s drink up and be merry, oh the captains and the kings
let’s drink up and be merry, oh the captains and the kings

[verse 5]
by the moon that shines above us, in the misty morn and night
let us cease to run ourselves down, but praise god that we are white
and better still, are english, tea and toast, and m*ffin rings
old ladies with stern faces, and the captains and the kings
old ladies with stern faces, and the captains and the kings
