Africa Star Lyrics by Sods’ Opera

Come on Lads...

2009

Oh give me a bar to my Africa Star
And a clasp to pin on my breast
Then I'll stay here in base
With a smile on my face
Content on my laurels to rest
Star beautiful star
I'd rather have beer by far
If you've an akker or two
I'll have stella with you
While I tell you how I won my star
Distribution was wide, it spread like a tide
Like the leaves that come down in the fall
For as you can see, they gave one to me
And to NAAFI, and ENSA and all
Star beautiful star
I'd rather have beer by far
If you've a knacker or two
I'll have stella with you
Whilе I tell you how I won my star
Lady Astor herself
Had onе on the shelf
To wear when she puts on her togs
If you look down the list
The only ones that they missed
Were the jerries, the eyeties and dogs
Star beautiful star
I'd rather have beer by far
If you've a knacker or two
I'll have stella with you
While I tell you how I won my star
Oh give me a bar, in my homeland afar
Where I can show off my Africa Star
And then I'll confess before they all guess
That I bought it in Shepherd's Bazaar
Star beautiful star
I'd rather have beer by far
If you've a knacker or two
I'll have stella with you
While I tell you how I won my star
