So this is what some folk call progress
going back to the good old ways 
Bringing back imperial weights and measures 
just like in the good old days

To mark the Queens Platinum Jubilee 
there are many celebrations planned
From grand events in London city
to small street parties across the land   

Boris is set to mark this great occasion 
with his own special announcement 
From next week we can buy our apples
using imperial measurement

This amendment will bring us so much choice 
it will be a total revelation 
There is bound to be much excitement 
in every corner of the nation 

So thinking about your next weekly shop
there’s just one thing I would love to know 
Will you buy your apples by the dozen 
in pounds and ounces or by the kilo
