Forget our History,
We're in the EEC,
God Save Us all.
Moth-ball our fishing fleet,
Ban exports of our meat,
Bonaparte's work complete,
God Help Us all.

Plumbers on holiday,
Cash for the IRA,
God Help Us All.
Prisoners on remand,
Kids' condoms on demand,
Your wish is our command,
God Help Us All.

Fergie and Bernie Grant,
David the Mellorphant,
God Save Us all.
Back to front baseball caps,
Hand-outs to Irish Prats,
Algerians in council flats,
God Save Us All.

Confound our principles, Give in to their demands, On thee our votes we fix: God save us all. Lord grant that Geoff Hoon May by incompetance Mediocrity bring. May he ignore us all, And like a torrent rush, Historical Scots to cut, God save us all! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
