When I was a little boy my father said Our family's always stood and faced The foes that we most dread So to this day I never run away And meet things head to head The motto of the Bartons Is 'give each job your best, Keep a stiff upper lip And always wear a vest. Pack a toothbrush, And change your underwear, Eat an apple every day, And comb your hair.' Everyone: Hail Dick Barton, a spiffing sort of chum Britain never, never, never shall succumb Dick Barton: Happy and glorious is my ancestry My family since the dawn of time Has led the victory. From Agincourt to Waterloo We've sung our eulogy We are the Bartons We give each job our best, We keep a stiff upper lip And always wear a vest. Where's my toothbrush, I've changed my underwear, Eaten an apple every day, And combed my hair. Everyone: Hail Dick Barton, He's awfully, awfully brave Briton's never, never, never ... ...shall be slaves.
