A Matter of Taste

·TheNightShift

Just for a bit of fun... Now I am an Englishman, my name is John I arise each morning and put the kettle on A pair of kippers and some toast with jam My name is John and an Englishman I am! Now I am a Scotsman and my name’s McRae I like to eat ma haggis while bagpipes play With tatties, neeps and a Scotch mince pie My name is McRae and I’m a Scotsman, aye! Now I am an Irishman my name is Seamus I eat spuds for which Ireland is so famous A pint of Guinness stops me from being dry Bejasus! I’m Seamus and an Irishman am I! Now I’m a Welshman and my name is Taffy I eat lots of leeks in an Aberystwyth café Watching Wales play rugby and scoring a try Yes my name is Taffy and a Welshman am I! Je suis un Francais et mon nom est Renee Jaime manger cuis de culinaire gastronome Et aussi crossants et consommez champagne Mon nom est Jaques et un Francais suis je! Now I am a Yorkshireman, my name is Keef I like Yorkshire pudding with well done beef I’ll support Sheffield Wednesday until I die My name is Keef and a Yorkshireman am I!
