[Victoria)]
I love to be a British queen
I am Victoria, you see
Now where's my British butler
With my British cup of tea?
[Butler]
Tea is not from Britain, ma'am
From India it was brought
Yes, for your cuppa, thousands died
And many wars were fought

[Victoria]
British things, my British things
It seems that tea is not
British things, my British things
[Butler]
Can I sweeten it a jot?

[Victoria]
Do tell me sugar's British though
[Butler]
No, it's Caribbean imported
For sugar in your cup of tea
Slavery's been supported
I know it's wrong, your majesty
But slaves in Africa
Worked hard in fields of sugar cane
To sweeten up your char

[Victoria]
British things
[Both]
Our British things
[Victoria]
I thought that there were many
[Both]
British things, our British things
[Butler]
Afraid there's hardly any

[Butler]
You know your British cotton vest
[Victoria]
What's wrong with it, explain
[Butler]
The cotton's from America
And picked by...
[Victoria]
Slaves again
[Butler]
Your empire's built on fighting wars
That's how your income's swollen
Your British things are from abroad
And most are frankly stolen

[Victoria]
Whatever next? Go on, pray tell
[Butler]
Our British queen is foreign as well
[Victoria]
It's true, I am of foreign descent
[Butler]
And your husband, Albert?
[Victoria]
A German gent
At least I've got a British name
[Butler]
Victoria's Latin
[Victoria]
That's a shame!

[Both]
British things, British things
[Victoria]
There are none, we declare
[Butler]
All our favourite British things
[Both]
Seem to come from elsewhere
