Here's a SERIOUS parody of Hamish Henderson's "Freedom, come all ye", to the old pipe tune "The Bloody Fields of Flanders"

The Bloody Fields of Sanders. (or - The Bloodied Meals of Sanders!) To the tune of "Freedom, come all ye" (The Bloody fields of Flanders) Copyright 13/6/00, Rob Maxtone Graham.

Frae Norfolk tae ol' Kentucky,
They tempt wir weans wi' a' yon junk food.
But there's nae hope, e'en fer the plucky,
Bullets aye beat pullets in a bubbly-jock shoot.
Ye'll find breedcrumbs an' spicy drumsticks,
Hae a taste! --- "It's finger-lickin' good"
But it's time they haud hames o' freedom
Sae wing the haill batt'ry o' the colonel's brood.

An' MacDonald's hae sponsored music,
Ten grand they gied wir kids tae go the Dome.
But their rogue name they wir abusin'
"Tell yer mammies whan ye gae hame"
Its a stench that wid mak ye vomit,
Fact'ry fairmin' the kyne is nae cartoon;
Sae show them a' that ye think they're counterfeit
An' fling the vile relish o' their burgers doon!

Rob

Calico ----- Apologies for the squashed lines - first time I've posted lyrics - I've read the FAQ since and hope to get the right brackets, etc. next time. Each verse splits into 8 lines, with a capital at the beginning. The original, by Hamish Henderson, is our unofficial national anthem, and was written in Scots, not english. See Freedom, come all ye, in the DT.
