LONDON -- It's David Cameron's final day as Britain's prime minister but the mood was cheerful in the House of Commons. 

The Tory leader was in good form and cracked several jokes during the weekly prime minister's question time. 

He even broke out an American accent. Hear it yourself:

"This session does have some admirers around the world. I remember when I did his job [pointing to Jeremy Corbyn] and I met Mayor Bloomberg in New York and we walked down the street and everyone knew Mike Bloomberg. And everyone came up and said, 'mayor, you're doing a great job.'

"No one had a clue who I was until eventually someone said 'Hey, Cameron! Prime minister's questions! We love your show!'" he said. 

His attempt got a mixed response on Twitter.





Cameron was mocked before for attempting a Scottish accent.

Just another wild day in post-Brexit British politics.
