Why do we need those Europeans can't we make our own rules
If we need our own MP's, then they must go to better schools
We never used to need those Frogs and Gerry's our nation almost ruled the globe so round
Now we are breeding straight Banana's does it matter if there's 8 per kilo or 4 to the lb

What do they know about baking cakes and pickles, our village ladies can't be beat
What's wrong with miles and feet and inches, we know how tall we are in feet
If Cheddar cheese is not made at Cheddar and Mowbray's pork pies are contracted out
And Yorkshire puddings aren't all made in Yorkshire does it matter if they are all spread about

HEALTH & SAFETY its common sense
If men and women in our great country want to work a little longer, to pay there bills
Why do these foreigners tell us to shorten our working week, why stop, it helps to fill the tills,
All these rules and regulations, we don't encourage our young to work
Why limit the Lorry Driver, don't let him drive to far when he gets to depot he as another 20 miles in car

HEALTH & SAFETY its common sense
For centuries we managed to build a Great Britain, and proud to fly the flag
What have we got to fly it for now there's nothing left in the bag?
What happened to our farmers they worked hard and prospered each year to fill the store?
And now these UN Qualified Europeans won't let us farm no more

HEALTH & SAFETY its common sense
The rules they make in Europe are made for us all to read
But it's mostly us silly b****** in England who have to obey and lead
Why can't we cut our hedges like we used to, we always made the drains good
And the waterways are left for wild life and now we a have the flood

HEALTH & SAFETY its common sense
And what about the hedges that are left while the birds have flown
We used to manage nicely when we were left to make that decision our own
Why when building plots are started, don't we check the sea level before we start
Then when we get heavy rainfall then the houses should be in a higher part
HEALTH & SAFETY It's common sense
