Just composed a song to the tune of Dr Freud, which I heard by Pete Seeger in 1959. Always thought it had a touch of Tom Lehrer DING DONG ©Jack Warshaw 2013 Tune: Dr Freud (D Lazar) It was back in 79, not so very long ago When bankers weren't getting quite so rich That a Tory politician came to better her position And become the British nation's leading bitch Chorus: Ding dong, Lady Blue You're gone for good, let's give a rousing boo You'll fly around no more on that broomstick by the door And we'll never see another witch like you The little war she soon selected, well it got her re-elected Sold off every public service in a flash She freely swung the chopper till the poll tax came a cropper And vowed trade union rights would soon be smashed Cho. She snatched school milk away, supported Pinochet Doubled VAT and unemployment overnight Immigrants with darker skin were the enemy within While she handbagged every minister in sight Cho. Now the old witch has departed but not so the plan she started It's still gospel to her followers today Her ghost will be to thank for "screw the workers, up the bankers." And it's once again the poor who have to pay. Cho.
