lyrics

The British Winter

If your house is rather old
Chances are you will feel cold
In the British winter.
T-shirts are not winter garb
This is not the warm Algarve
Behold the British winter.

Suffering is not our thing -
We want to make it through to Spring
Chilblain-free, warm and dry
We can do it if we try...So
Wear your woollies, and we''ll beat
The cold with our internal heat.

Brr brr brr brr...

Draft-proofing and insulation
Are handy for the British nation
In an icy winter.
Talk nicely to the sheep -
Their wool may be the thing to keep
Your loft protected from the winds of winter.

Suffering is not our thing
We want to make it through to Spring
Chilblain-free, warm and dry
We can do it if we try..So
Find your thermals, do your best
And save the country with a vest!

Written (and first performed) during a long meeting about home insulation
