Charladies' Chorus

Chars:
We're the Government service chars,
Not like those bureaucratic tzars,
In all those Chrysler cars,
Oh wouldernit be loverly.

Everything that they have to do
Is put to one side and left to stoo
If only we could too,
Oh wouldernit be loverly.

It's so loverly getting
Oh so comper-leterly tight
When we get back to our
Reg'lar bottle o' gin each night.

We pay our subs to the P.S.A.,
They have promised us equal pay.
Lor! That will be the day.
Oh wouldernit be luvverly.

Ancient clerks with their ancient wiles,
Miles of red tape and missing files,
To think they rule these isles—
Oh wouldnernit be luvverly.

Everything is immersed in dust,
While the matter is just discussed;
If only it was usst,
Oh wouldnernit be luvverly.

Oh so luvverly sitting
Abs-bloomin'-lutely still
We won't budge until
We get our cuppa morning swill.

We will show how to run the land
When us chars get the upper hand
We'll do it simply grand,
Oh wouldernit be luverly.
