Water

As the eye can see.

From up in the north

To the west country.

With half of Great Britain

Under a flood.

And when it subsides

Leaves home full of mud.

Our rivers are bursting

And covering the land.

We'll protect all the houses

With bags full of sand.

But the people will triumph

With their usual resolve.

The great British spirit

Will never dissolve.
