Get out the bunting! Wave your union flag!
(Not union jack, you cretin, that’s at sea)
Today’s the day that Britain gets to brag
About our most decisive victory!
Three quarters of a century ago
Our great grandparents gave the krauts what for!
And some of them are still alive to know
We treat it like some fucking football score.
It’s true, this year we’ve got to stay inside
Find novel ways to celebrate the fact.
Three quarters of a hundred million died,
But hey, at least we beat the fascists back!
Wave flags! Dress up! Be nationalist! Be loud!
I’m sure that those who died would be so proud.
