lyrics

Each year on this day of March seventeen
A bigot will make a complaint
That in England no man of Irish descent
Will honour his host’s patron saint

To answer this question avoiding aggression
Oppression is what you must say
And we’ll sing him a song of his man St George
And then he can be on his way

Yes, we’ll sing St George stories, sing of his glories
We’ll sing of his propriety
And we’ll sing of his roots in the old middle east
‘Cos St George is a refugee

Sing of dragons slayed, and maiden’s he’s saved
If legend is your cup of tea
Or we’ll sing you a song of old Palestine
And a Roman mercenary

St Patrick had snakes, St Augustine the shakes
St Andrew a cross on its side
But no passport has George for the man on the border
Beaming with his national pride

Yes, we’ll sing St George stories, sing of his glories
We’ll sing of his propriety
And we’ll sing of his roots in the old middle east
‘Cos St George is a refugee

So, open your borders and lower your flags
For the man the Muslims agree
Was a prophet, a soldier, of god a beholder,
A hero, a refugee

Yes, we’ll sing St George stories, sing of his glories
We’ll sing of his propriety
And we’ll sing of his roots in the old middle east
‘Cos St George is a refugee
And we’ll sing of his roots in the old middle east
‘Cos St George is a refugee
