                I’m British and I know it; I don’t like rounds of toast.

                For what I really like for breakfast is Weetabix the most.

                  You can keep your beef and pudding – I like spaghetti bolognese –

                  And I prefer pizza, rice and pasta - all done in different ways.
                 

                I’m British and I like it , and the countryside is pretty –

                It isn’t far from where I live to travel to Leeds city.

                  I’d rather have a rock cake with my mug of Yorkshire tea,

                  In Yorkshire we have countryside and we also have the sea.
                 

                I’m British and I’m happy – and I go to school each day –

                But on Saturday and Sunday I can stay at home and play.

                  I have a gran and granddad and I think they’re really swell.

                  I hope that you’re all happy too and doing really well!
