Cambridge Footlights Revue - clip 1 (song)

Video: Cambridge Footlights Revue (1982)

Come join us in the noblest of causes
The battle for national improvement
The creaking of leather and uniforms
Is the hymn of our British movement

We promise you riches and prosperity
Employment for the British working man
We promise you holidays in America
On exchange with the Ku Klux Klan

Eliminate the Paki, exterminate the Blackie
Pull out this disease by the roots
A British Movement government would repatriate the immigrant
To the tramp of Union Jack boots

Children in football grounds and classrooms
Are paraded in tiny rank and file
Incited to multi-racial aggro
Exalted by the war cry "Zeig Heil" ("Zeig Heil!")

Imagine a society with skinheads roaming wild and free
And not a pair of thick lips in sight
Fumigate the Underground and sterilize the cricket grounds

White coat and white elephant
Whitewash and White Christmas
White horse and white rich and white poor
White dirt and white licorice
White helmets, white truncheons
White face and white Willy Whitelaw

We don't have anything like this in america. I'm an american college student with a brain full of sketches and ideas and nowhere to channel it all. You brits massacre us in comedy every time- that's why we steal your television shows.

When Stephen sings, unless you're up for a good laugh, you don't really always listen.

You only gaze at him. ;-D

@PabloBrown7 You've got a point there, my friend.

Why is it that the funniest people suffer from depression. A large, if not all of this group have suffered depression.Tony Slattery and Emma Thompson suffered badly, and we all know about Fry,but even the happy go lucky Laurie has been a sufferer. I do wounder if atheism has anything to do with it (most of them are atheist),I'm not religious myself, put when a religious person is down, they've always got someone to talk too.

@CuddlesAndHuggles I think it's just because Emma sings higher so it stands out more against the boys!

"imagine a society with Skinheads roaming wild and free and not a pair of thick lips in sight"

Bliss pure and utter bliss

dear god if anyone even thought of trying that in the US even as ment to be a parody of the white power movement they would be sued into oblivian by all the minority groups out there with a probable UN condemnation.

@graaar why is this different from american comedy, i'm just trying to understand the difference from a american perspective, because we don't get much of this old fationed comedy in britian now.
