The Best of Hands

The country's in the very best of hands
The best of hands ... The best of hands
Wilf Owen says the national debt has never been so high
And government expenditures are climbing to the sky
It makes a fellow get a gleam of pride within his eye
To see how our economy expands
The country's in the very best of hands.
You ought to see the cabinet when they're drawing up a bill
Whereases and to wits are used to gild the pill
Such legal terminology would give your heart a thrill
There's phrases there that no one understands
The country's in the very best of hands.

Don't you believe those party hacks and ministers are dumb
When they run into problems that are tough to overcome
They leave them to a thing they call a referendum
Let people vote according to their glands
The country's in the very best of hands.

The voters are connected to the MP
The M.P's connected to the policy
When he's not connected to a policy
He sits around on his thighbones;
They sit around in this place they got
This parliamentary parking lot
Just sit around on their you know what
Up there they calls dem their thigh-bones.

Dem bones dem bones gonna rise again
Gonna exercise the franchise again
Gonna tax us up to our eyes again
When they get up off'n their thigh-bones
The country's in the very best of hands.
