Battle Of The Falkland Islands Aka Falklands War Song Meaning
[[British National Anthem] Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the waves Britons never never never shall be slaves Off the coast of Argentina, our Islands came to be With eighteen hundred people, and a half a million sheep The day they were invaded everybody learned the name A barren little colony had got a bit of fame [Chorus] We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets We mobilised the navy and we called up thе marines We sailed two weeks ’til wе reached the Falkland Islands So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines Maggie Thatcher was awakened in the middle of the night She heard the Argentinians were calling for a fight She summoned up the Cabinet and met with the MP’s And sent the pride of Britain to the stormy Southern seas [Chorus] We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines We sailed two weeks ’til we reached the Falkland Islands So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines , Well, in came the yanks, who had to have a say So they sent Al Haig down Buenos Aires way He shuffled to and fro always managing a smile The Argies still refused to leave the barren British Isles [Chorus] So We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines We sailed two weeks ’til we reached the Falkland Islands So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines Well, the whole world watched As the British fleet drew near And the battle for the Falklands is finally here We sank their ships brought down their aeroplanes And taught those cheeky Argies not to mess with us again! [Chorus] We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines We sailed two weeks ’til we reached the Falkland Islands So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines All the local girls awaited when Britannia disembarked He had a reputation and he liked to have a laugh They covered him with kisses, they walked him in the grass He said he never saw a better piece of British… Land , [Chorus] We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines We sailed two weeks ’til we reached the Falkland Islands So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines [Chorus] We stocked our ships full of British beer and bullets We mobilised the navy and we called up the marines We sailed two weeks ’til we reached the South Atlantic So we could teach a lesson to those bloody Argentines Go on! Clear out of It! Go on back to La Pampas! Go on! Clear out! Go on, you can’t play bloody football either!] |
