Song from my Youth!!!

Kick the Cat!

Oh it is hard you will agree,
To know your place in Britains meritocracy,
It's most important you should know.....
The people who're above you & the ones below.

Ch. Oh, Oh, You should know....
The people who're above you and the ones below!

If Par-lia-ments where you would be?
Be sure you come from Oxford with a good degree,
And then you can with your accent smooth,
Persuade the shiftless workers to to the polling booth.

Ch. Oh, oh, accent smooth etc.

A red brick Un-iv-ers-it-y,
Puts you on the lower branches of the tree,
But even there you'll have a ball,
Scorning those who never reach the tree at all.

Ch.

Doctors, Dentists, Lawyers pass,
Their examination to the Middle Class,
Es-pec-ial-ly if they've just scraped through,
I'll give you ten to one that they'll look down on you!

Ch.

If proper status you would win,
Be sure to hang your curtains with the right side in,
No-ones below you (fancy that),
Then your only consolation is to kick the cat!

Ch.

If you want the tune then you had better E-Mail me.....or tell me how to post it!!
