England Swings:Roger Miller. #8 in 1965. [Intro] (whistle)        [Chorus] England swings like a pendulum do Bobbies on bicycles two by two. Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben the rosy red cheeks of the little children. [Interlude]    [Verse 1] Now if you huff and puff and you finally save enough money up to take your family on a trip across the sea.     Take a tip before you take your trip let me tell you where to go...go to England oh. [Chorus] England swings like a pendulum do Bobbies on bicycles two by two. Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben the rosy red cheeks of the little children. [Interlude] (Whistle)         [Verse 2] Mamas old pajamas and your papa’s mustache falling out the window sill frolic in the grass. Tryin’ to mock the way they talk fun but all in vain gapin’ at the dapper men with derby hats and canes. [Chorus] England swings like a pendulum do Bobbies on bicycles two by two. Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben the rosy red cheeks of the little children. [Chorus] England swings like a pendulum do Bobbies on bicycles two by two. Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben the rosy red cheeks of the little children. [Outro] (Whistle)         A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque avec légèreté et humour l'Angleterre, soulignant l'image pittoresque du pays à travers des éléments emblématiques. Elle parle de Bobbies à vélo, des célèbres monuments comme Westminster Abbey et Big Ben, ainsi que de l’innocence des enfants. L’artiste joue sur le contraste entre la vie quotidienne et les petites aventures familiales, tout en suscitant la curiosité pour un voyage en terre anglaise. L'ambiance des années 60 se ressent à travers des références à la mode et aux comportements, rendant l'ensemble à la fois nostalgique et divertissant. C'est un hommage à un mode de vie britannique plein de charme et de couleurs.
