British Empire

The following song is a collection of The British Empire's territories, colonies, and protectorates at its height. (1815-1930)

Parody of 50 states that rhyme 126 British territories, colonies, and protectorates that kind of rhyme inspired by last week tonight.

When I was small i studied British history, the teacher said would you stand up and do something for me? When I asked what? he just laughed and handed me a map. He just smiled and said list every British territory colony and protectorate at the height of the british empire. My knees began a knocking and my words fell out all wrong, then suddenly i burst out with this silly little song.
