Commonwealth

The Beatles

Tonight, Enoch Powell said: Get out immigrants
Immigrants a-better go home
Tonight, Harold Wilson said to the immigrants
You better get back to your Commonwealth homes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He said, Ya better get back home

Now, Enoch Powell
He said to the folks
He said you wear the color of your skin
He said he don’t care what it’s all about

So, Ted Heath said to Enoch Powell
He said: You better get out
Or else you’re going to trial
Enoch Powell
Enoch, you better go home

Commonwealth (yes?!)
Commonwealth (yes?!)
Commonwealth (yes?!)
Commonwealth (yes?!)
If you don't want trouble then you better go back to home

So, I went to Pakistani
I went to India
I been to ol’ Calcutta
And I’ve had enough of that

I'm coming back (yes?!)
To England town (yes, welcome!)
And dirty Enoch Powell
And he’s had enough of Parliament

Oh, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Commonwealth (yes?!)
Oh, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Commonwealth (yes?!)
If you don't want trouble then you better go back to home

Well, I trekked down to Australia
And said to New Zealand
You better come live with us
We’re gonna have some fun
We’re going up to India
We’re going to Pakistan
We’re going up to Europe and [?]
And dirty Enoch Powell and his [?]
He says you gotta [?]

Oh, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Commonwealth (yes?!)
Yeah, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Oh, hear me talking Commonwealth
Yeah, that Commonwealth
But it’s much too wealthy for me (much too common for me)
(It's much too common for me, oh, yeah)

I ambled to Australia and New Zealand, too
I went up to Pakistan and India, too
I came back to West Indies
And I had a cricket match
I went into South Africa
And told them to get back
Oh, Commonwealth
I said: You’re much too common for me

Everybody sing
Hey, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Yeah, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Enoch Powell, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Immigrants, Commonwealth (yes?!)
Well, I would join the Common Market
But it’s much too common for me (yes!)
