Party Line

Gaylord and Crooks
O ye'll take the Marx line, and I'll take the Red Line,
And we'll be in cabinet together,
Then me and my comrades will justify our acts,
With the empty, empty words of Homburgers.

The importers groan, the retailers moan,
'Cos the banks squeeze tight for no reason,
So me and my comrades will socialise the Land,
And jail all the Tories for treason.

Chorus
The prices are rising, the costs are increasing,
The wages have dropt with a thump,
So me and my comrades will subsidise their fate
With a bonnie bonnie gift of a slump.

The mauve of National, the pink of Labour
Will change to a shade of bright red,
Yes, me and my comrades will Leninise the land
And govern the place from our beds.
