I could have lots of money too
I gave it up for lent
The choice was work my Harris Off
Or just live in a tent
Charity begins at home
I hear most people say
Tell me where your house is
I can come round right away

Every ones a winner
I heard that at the Fair
When I went to get my prize
By Gum it wasn’t there
England will not let me down
Thanks to Tony Blair
Unlike the good old USA
Bush doesn’t really care

I did my stint in Uniform
My goodness what a joke
Sat drinking in the Naffi
(Our Government was broke)
They cut us down joined us up
Thatcher paid us more
Then to keep us entertained
Sent us of to war

So now I’m on the gravy chain
Free money from your taxes
That’s because I saved your ass
While you played on your faxes
No worries now I’m safe and sound
Sat pretty with your money
You might think that awfull
While Me….I think it’s funny
