lyrics

In colonial Kingston,
the Brits wore red coats.
We shot out their eyes,
and slit their fat throats.
So they burned down the town,
and raped some young girls.
So we split their thick skulls,
under powdered wig curls.

Sail home British soldiers,
you're not welcome here.
You can keep your mutton maidens,
we'll keep our fine deer.

Sail home British soldiers,
your empire is done.
You may weep in your porridge,
at the setting of the sun.

We'll return from the woods,
with our clay colored friends.
To teach you your means,
shall justify no ends.
We'll put bombs on your yachts,
and ground glass in your bread.
And beat you with shillelaghs,
until long last you are dead.

Sail home British soldiers,
you're not welcome here.
You can keep your mutton maidens,
we'll keep our fine deer.

Sail home British soldiers,
your empire is done.
You may weep in your porridge,
at the setting of the sun.

Neither collar nor crown,
shall this patriot wear.
You can't have my musket,
You'll die if you dare.
So fuck off you fucking fucks,
and fuck you as well.
Before I bow once,
I'll see you in hell.
