hat's English, you know; quite English, you know).
Economy, Order, and Justice _sans_ fear!
(They're English; quite English, you know!)

The Soldier and Citizen then will agree,
(That's English, you know; quite English, you know,)
The Press and the Priesthood alike will be free
(That's English, you know; quite English, you know).
Then will France to her ancient pre-eminence rise;
The German will watch her with reverent eyes;
All the Powers rush forward to be her allies
(_That's_ French, you know; _very_ French, you know).

_Chorus._

These things you shall see which you now only hear
(That's certain you know; quite certain, you know):
If only you'll let my new System appear.
(That's English; quite English, you know!)

Constitutional principles, these, my good friend!
(They're English, you know; quite English, you know)--
They Conservative needs and Equality blend,
(That's English, you know; quite English, you know).
_Do_ at my new Royal rig-out take a glance!
In this to the front I shall proudly advance,
As the true King of all, and first Servant of France,
(But English, you know; quite English, you know).

_Chorus._

The things which I say it is time you should hear
(They're English, you know; quite English, you know).
The principles these to make France without peer
(Though they're English; quite English, you know)!
