lyrics

HELLO SIR CAN I TAKE UP A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME
TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS AND THIS GREAT GREAT PARTY OF MINE
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE'VE ONLY GOT YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART
AND IF YOU FALL FOR THAT YOUR A FOOL FROM THE START
BECAUSE I'LL TONGUE-TIE YOU UP IN KNOTS
AND SPIN YOU A LINE

NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY WHILE I READ YOU OUR MANIFESTO
WE'LL CRUSH THE DEFICIT WITH A SWIFT HEY PRESTO
AND WE'LL RUIN YOU LIFE WITH TAX RISES AND CUTS
WE'LL KNEE YOU IN THE GROIN, KICK YOU IN THE NUTS
JUST MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR US
NO IF'S, NO BUTS

HERE COME THE DOORSTEPPERS
PINSTRIPE SUITS, PATENT SHOES OF LEATHER
HERE COME THE DOORSTEPPERS
CANVASSING YOUR VOTE WHATEVER THE WEATHER
OUT FOR THEMSELVES BUT THEY SWEAR
WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER

NOW LISTEN HERE CONSTITUENT THERE'S A COUNTRY TO SAVE
JUST GIVE ME YOUR VOTE TODAY, DONT DELAY
TO PUT BOXES UNDER CROSSES, PUT YOUR CROSSES IN THE BOXES
BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE IN POWER NO-ONE WILL EVER STOP US
YOU KNOW THAT IT MAKES SENSE
THANK YOU AND GOOD DAY
