Ankh-Morpork Anthem performed by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the soprano was Clare Rutter.

The lyrics of the anthem are as follows:

"When dragons belch and hippos flee
My thoughts, Ankh-Morpork, are of thee
Let others boast of martial dash
For we have boldly fought with cash
We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes
We own all your generals - touch us and you'll lose.

Morporkia! Morporkia!
Morporkia owns the day!
We can rule you wholesale
Touch us and you'll pay.

We bankrupt all invaders, we sell them souvenirs
We ner ner ner ner ner, hner ner hner by the ears
Er hner we ner ner ner ner ner
Ner ner her ner ner ner hner the ner
Er ner ner hner ner, nher hner ner ner (etc.)
Ner hner ner, your gleaming swords
We mortgaged to the hilt

Morporkia! Morporkia!
Hner ner ner ner ner ner
We can rule you wholesale
Credit where it's due."

    In the real world, nobody knows the second verse of their national anthem anyway, so in the books the guy who wrote it decided it would be easier to have a second verse of ners because its what people would be doing anyway

    I misspoke. I ment "strophes" when i wrote "verses". Polish people usually know fisrts three strophes. And yes it include verses: "Bonaparte gave us example how to win"
