41 Gun Salute
We’re lining up for you
Gun in hand
Let us show you
What we can do
I know you want me to
It’s all over your face
Swear allegiance to you
It’s the least that I can do

Bow with awe to the great and the good
So much better but it’s misunderstood
They float above and they do it with ease
I know my betters and it’s like a disease

41 Gun Salute
Hold your gun, fire and shoot
Our weapons gesture is all for you
With shiny boots and a military suit
41 Gun Salute
Prostrate is what we choose
Raise the flag and we all salute
Sing our anthem and a 41 Gun Salute

You doff your cap, you’re so eager to please
41 Gun Salute
I’ll do
Whatever you want me to
Best done when you’re down on your knees

Like every true brit
With a stiff upper lip
I’ll take it on the chin
Then you’ll let me in
I’ve been standing like this
For over an hour
Can’t hold on any more
I thought I knew my place
But now you’ll get it
Full in the face
Like every true Brit
I’ll take it on the chin
And then I’ll let you in

Bow with awe to the great and the good
So much better but it’s misunderstood
They float above and they do it with ease
I know my betters and it’s like a disease

41 Gun Salute
Hold your gun, fire and shoot
Our weapons gesture is all for you
With shiny boots and a military suit
41 Gun Salute
Prostrate is what we choose
Raise the flag and we all salute
Sing our anthem and a 41 Gun Salute

Bow with awe to the great and the good
Don’t care but maybe you should
