I wish I was in London, walkin' in the rain
I wish I was in London, ooh I really miss the rain
Oh, just take me home again

I wish I was in England, I really miss the Queen
I wish I was in England, ooh I really miss the Queen
Oh, just take me home again

What happened to the Empire? There's nothing in the Bank
They gave away the Empire, without a word of thanks
Oh just blame it on the Yanks

So give me rule Brittania, Brittania rules the waves
I live in California, but it's really not the same
Oh, so take me home again

Oh, please take me home again
Oh, so take me home again...
