Fairy Tale of Westminster

(Him)It was Christmas evening, at the yacht club,
One’s broker said “my dear, positively everyone is here!”
A roomful of celebs, we kept out all the plebs,
Although you’ll hear us say “this is the big society”.

(Her)And so it’s tallyho, one’s shares portfolio
Still begs the question “what recession?”
So happy Christmas, oh come here darling, mwaaaah
I love it when you say “we’re in the big society”.

(Him)We’ve all got four by fours and a runabout Porsche,
Though the country’s been sold, sod the sick and the old,
Though you’re daft in the head you’re a pure thoroughbread,
“We’re all in it together” were the words that you said.
With our hands in the kitty, our friends in the city,
The bankers we bailed out and they yelled out for more,
We’re enjoying a boom, but no room at the inn
For the poor bloody peasants who pay for it all...

(Both) And the boys and girls from the merchant bank were busy making hay,
And Harrods tills were ringing out for Christmas Day..
La la la la la la etc.This is the Big Society

(Her)You’re a cad, you’re a bounder, you wear those awful trousers,
You’re all grease and smarm with your snake oil charm,
You’re a sucker of blood, you’re a corporate slug,
So move up the trough, there’s room for one more.
(Both)And the boys and girls from the merchant bank were busy making hay,
And Harrods tills were ringing out for Christmas Day..
La la la la la la This is the Big Society

(Him) Your children’s future gone, if they don’t go to Eton,
You gave their dreams away, tomorrow they’ll be slaves,
They can only blame themselves, lucky to be stacking Tesco shelves.
So repeat after me “this is the big society”.

(both) And the boys and girls from the merchant bank were busy making hay,
And Harrods tills were ringing out for Christmas Day..
La la la la la this is the Big Society
