The Dark Ages

The Magado

Words: Adrian Slade, Tune: The Mikado)

A more humane Prime Minister
Never did in the land exist.
To nobody's second
She's certainly reckoned
The true philanthropist.
It is her very humane endeavour
To make to some extent
Each evil scrounger
A jobless lounger
Of monetarist merriment.

Her object all sublime
She will achieve in time,
To make the policies fit the crime,
The policies fit the crime.
And make each worker pent
And happily represent
A source of monetarist merriment,
Of monetarist merriment.

All Libs and Labs and Union Leaders
Who chatter and bleat and blare
Are so much beneath her
They're sent to Sir Keith for
A sermon from ten till four.
The amateur Prior who tries to tell her
She's driving the people berserk
Will soon meet his fate
As an ex-Min of State
In Madame Tussauds waxwork.
While the lady, who dyes a chemical yellow
And turns her Cabinet puce,
Chastises the Frogs,
The Huns and the Wogs
Whenever she finds an excuse.
Wile the idiot Socialists turn their backs
And call each other names,
The Liberal Boy
Has lunch with Roy
To play Parliamentary games.

Her object all sublime
She will achieve in time,
To make the policies fit the crime,
The policies fit the crime.
And make each worker pent
And happily represent
A source of monetarist merriment,
Of monetarist merriment.

2 million of her subjects are
Already upon the dole,
But as most of the workers
Are terrible shirkers,
She'll keep them in the hole.
Her Chancellor struggles in front of the telly
To put his leader's case,
But with job devastation
Surpassing inflation
He never can keep up the pace.
While the noble Carrington walks abroad
To shake a few hands with the wogs,
The rest of the wets
Sit making their bets
As to who will be next for the dogs.
Meanwhile the extravagant Saatchi & Saatchi
Create her political calls,
Unswervingly right
Full of sweetness and light
And elliptical monetary balls.

Her object all sublime
She will achieve in time,
To make the policies fit the crime,
The policies fit the crime.
And make each worker pent
And happily represent
A source of monetarist merriment,
Of monetarist merriment.
