About the Track
A Bit of Britain is an anthemic wink at British identity, culture, and contradictions. With its cheeky verses, orchestral nods, and a key change worthy of a Eurovision final, Whitmore Way paints a loving yet satirical portrait of the UK’s national character — weather, queuing, tea, and all.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Have you seen the TV?
All these apocalypse warnings
We’d better put the kettle on
Have a nice biscuit
We British
We got resolution
A cheeky upbringing
We don’t need a revolution
We already did it
We say sorry about 220 times a day
Brexit? Bloody hate it
Tea is our religion like we died and gone to heaven
And I think we should be calm and keep on singing
[Chorus]
So ’round up all your shooting stars
And cue the orchestra
It’s a bit of
It’s a bit of
A bit of Britain
And cue the key change
Unity in C major
It’s a bit of
It’s a bit of
A bit of Britain
[Verse 2]
It’s Great Britain against the world
How can we stop? Won’t you keep marching on?
It’s a great day to be in the UK (Hooray)
(The sun is out) Cheeky marge
(The rain has gone) Another song about roof
We’ll battle on
Pick me up
I need a change (Yo)
[Rap]
Lemme talk for a minute
About my country,
The place I call home,
Where we queue for the bus and still have a moan.
We love a good cup of tea in a mug,
And talking about rain is our favorite drug.
A stiff upper lip, a tale of two cities,
Keeping calm through life’s little pities.
It’s Great Britain reversed, but still standing tall,
Facing the world, united through it all.
Be British, stay British, through highs and lows,
The spirit of the isle forever glows.
[Bridge]
Great British
Great Britain
It’s a bit of a Britain
Great Britain for all the world
Great Britain
It’s Great British
It’s a bit of a Britain
Great Britain against the world
[Chorus – Reprise]
So ’round up all your shooting stars
And cue the orchestra
It’s a bit of
It’s a bit of
A bit of Britain
And cue the key change
Unity in C major
It’s a bit of
It’s a bit of
A bit of Britain
