If You're Going Back to Blighty

DESCRIPTION: "If you're going back to Blighty, If you're going back to Town, If Traflgar Square, green the lions there, Shout, 'Hallo, hallo, London.' Give the man in blue a fiver, Kiss the girls, don't be afraid. Tell every Western Pet That she's not forgotten yet."
