England Swings | Roger Miller | Lyrics

I vote this 10-10

where does roger miller come up with this

Thanks for printing the lyrics. I''ve been wondering what they were since I was three in 1966, lol. :)

"Gaping at the dapper men with derby hats and canes"
Everyone in London was either asian or pakistani...just sayin'.


If you get offended by this, you're over-analysing.

Been singing along to this song ever since I was a child and I never get tired of doing so.

I forgot all bout this FUN song! I love it!!!

England swings like a pendulum do...

When I visited London, it came to my memory of this song on walking around Big Ben and Wistminster Abbey, 20 years ago.

This video w*s *s good *s "Looking Out My B*ck Door" (by CCR) [SEE Both of these - you'll UNDERST*ND me]

Thanks for posting the song and lyrics. I remember only the 1st verse ever.

I’m 63 years old and remember singing this as a child with my mom. I’ve always remembered the words as “Erin” swings like a pendulum do...... surprised to now learn it was England....

Heard this in F. R. I. E. N. D. S. SN 4 e24😍

Still irritatingly upbeat - thank you, it's now firmly earwormed into the head for the rest of the year (and then some....). Sweet.

Tune thank you mum x. Love you

It's "the Tower and Big Ben".

Classic country is best, heard this on 98.7 the buck as all they play is good classic country. Thought was TOM T HALL at 1st. Such a good happy upbeat song 🙂 . Also reminds me of the song on Disney's Robin hood

The Clash, London Calling, counterpart

I used to think that the second verse was “Poppies gone by, sector two by two” 😂

I was 5 singing this song. One of my faves.

my nickname was london..cuz.......

I'm a filipino and I know the chorus so well since I was like 11 🤣 now I'm in my 20's

Isn't this sung by the same guy who sang "You can't rollerskate in a Buffalo herd"?

What a track

An absolute master of the craft. Hats off to Mr Miller. God gives us gifts like this man, not very often. He just wants to see us happy. God bless him.

Extra, extra, read all about it!

The young people probably don't know this but England was a country in Europe. It was where modern-day Rapeanistan is, the very same island. Back then when the song was written there were white people, having white children and they had rosy cheeks. This have changed a lot.

Tower OF BIG BEN.... the tower is now called Elizabeth tower. Big Ben is the bell

Anyone here in 2025?
