Greek, Egyptian, Russian, Roman
Ottoman, Chinese, Byzantine, yo man
They all seem small when compared to the best
Who do I refer to
You can probably guess
For only one empire was this grand
Setting up colonies in brand new lands
Captain James Cook - he was our man
Soldiers, navy, monarch, plan
One by one I'll introduce
The colonies that we produced
Before they went and became obtuse
Independence was their excuse

But cue the trumpets - a reveille
For them to play and you will see
The power that my words will be
To denounce the colonies

Starting with America
Your stupid megalomania
Caused us to make a replica
Down under in Australia
But then they went and federated
Thought they would be venerated
But actually they degenerated
With no way to regenerate
What was lost in their arrogance
The true British inheritance
That sense of benevolence
They also lost our eloquence

But cue the trumpets - a reveille
For them to play and you will see
The power that my words will be
To denounce the colonies

India's next on the list
But let's be honest, you won't be missed
You traded spices and that was it
Say goodbye, you've been dismissed
Africa, a land of beating sun
Colony plunder - you're overrun
Economies failing like Zimbabwe; fun
Throw in a military coup and the government you'll shun
And now it's time for Canada
You lot were granted a
Chance to be self-manager
But you didn't annex Alaska

But cue the trumpets - a reveille
For them to play and you will see
The power that my words will be
To denounce the colonies

Ladies and gents
Let's be fair here
No country could match the superiority of England
Just like no rapper can be equal to The Big English

For one last time cue that tune
And no brit will be immune
Our empire we must resume
And before us countries they will swoon
