 Unlike what’s often thought
We’re not obsessed by sport.
Not all the time.

Beaches and barbecues
VB and kangaroos
Convicts and Uluru:
That’ll do me fine.

Forget our History,
We're in the EEC,
God Save Us all.
Moth-ball our fishing fleet,
Ban exports of our meat,
Bonaparte's work complete,
God Help Us all.

Plumbers on holiday,
Cash for the IRA,
God Help Us All.
Prisoners on remand,
Kids' condoms on demand,
Your wish is our command,
God Help Us All.

Fergie and Bernie Grant,
David the Mellorphant,
God Save Us all.
Back to front baseball caps,
Hand-outs to Irish Prats,
Algerians in council flats,
God Save Us All.

Mo Mowlam, Mandelson,
placate our enemies,
And make them laugh.
Confound our principles,
Give in to their demands,
On thee our votes we fix:
God save us all.

Lord grant that Geoff Hoon
May by incompetance
Mediocrity bring.
May he ignore us all,
And like a torrent rush,
Historical Scots to cut,
God save us all!

It wasn't that bad. And besides, unlike my little gems, Old Topaz' stuff was meant seriously!

After all, Topaz was never recognised in Dundee, and we all know what a genius he was!
