Lyrics
1. When Winston says we can take it
He knows the bulldog breed
And his voice rings out round the Empire
With the very words we need
Chorus
It’s a grand life if we don’t weaken
Hitler’s bound to lose his bet
He’s tried to smash old London
But there’s lots of London yet
It’s a grand life if we don’t weaken
Though it may be tough on all
Ev’ry day we’re feeling surer that we’ve got the ruddy Fuhrer
With his back to the wall
2. We’ll win the war with “Winnie”
For the bull dog may be slow
But he’s got his teeth into Hitler
And he’ll never let him go
3. We’re with you Winston Churchill
We’ll hold on, grim and gay
And we’ll fight it through to a finish
For that is the British way
