Alternative Anthem


Put the kettle on

Put the kettle on

It is the British answer

to Armageddon.


Never mind taxes rise

Never mind trains are late

One thing you can be sure of

and that’s the kettle, mate.


It’s not whether you lose

It’s not whether you win

It’s whether or not

you’ve plugged the kettle in.


May the kettle ever hiss

May the kettle ever steam

It is the engine

that drives our nation’s dream.


Long live the kettle

that rules over us

May it be limescale free

and may it never rust.


Sing it on the beaches

Sing it from the housetops

The sun may set on empire

but the kettle never stops.
