I'm proud of the BBC, it's part of you and it's part of me

I'm proud of the BBC, like everybody has the right to be,
it's as British as midsummer showers, and it's ours
I'm proud of the BBC, if we let it go, then it's gone perpetually
and even if you don't always choose it
you'll know what you had if you lose it
and it wouldn't be the same without it
no doubt about it.
