IT'S MY PARTY AND I'LL LIE IF I WANT TO

entry picture

It’s my party

And I’ll lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

I’ll swear it’s true that I never knew.

 

Yes, there I was with a glass in my hand

The party hat hid round my back

We’d spun the bottle and then

I photocopied my crack.

 

It’s my party

And I’ll lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

I’ll swear it’s true that I never knew.

 

Nobody knows where my honesty’s gone

It simply pissed off and went

I must have been about nine

Since then I’ve always been bent.

 

It’s my party

And I’ll lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

I’ll swear it’s true that I never knew.

 

My lies to MP’s weren’t intentional lies

But simply they weren’t quite the truth

And as for my “intention to lie”

Good luck with finding the proof.

 

It’s my party

And I’ll lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

Lie if I want to

I’ll swear it’s true that I never knew.

Yes I saw that Q. Time clip. Hilarious!

And this from Johnson sycophant N. Dorries.

In denial, lying through her teeth, trying to defend Johnson, claiming he’s being fitted up by a “Kangaroo Court”.
Again, absolutely hilarious, were it not for the tragic consequences for UK democracy.

Thanks made me laugh and made me revisit my version from Jan 2022, shame this topic is still making headline news 14 months on! Mine was a different take and no comparison to yours though. “It’s not my party and I’ll deny it if I want to.”

Thanks for your thoughts, Stephen and MC. This is phenomenal. No-one, that’s no-one, in the Question Time audience thought BJ was telling the truth.

The Pied Piper of popular political pastiche on song again!
I can even imagine Bojo singing this to Carrie in the privacy of
their home!! Were you composing when Nixon said "I am not a
crook" or Clinton; "I did not have sex with that woman"? or
Blair's shameless huge hit: "Weapons of Mass Destruction"?
Just thinking of what we have missed. 😎.

Well done, John. I think the text (well sung, by the way) brings out the fact that BJ has lied so much that he probably doesn't know, or care, that he is doing it anymore.

Lying is my way of life
It is my calling card
It's why I am so clever,
So devious, so hard.

I’m not convinced Starmer is the PM-in-waiting many think, Uilleam. (And I say this as a (nearly) lifelong Labour voter.) His success in the polls predicates on not being Tory. That might not be enough. Add to that the certainty that the Tories will have some goodies to dispense before the next election. Which is why I’ve taken a bet at 7/2 on the Tories still being the largest party after it.
And thanks for the Like, Jack and Vanessa.

Thanks for that John.

Oh boy. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
Gorgeous voice, words and music; absolutely love that rhumba rhythm!

If only it were over; but I dread to think what'll take it's place-the corporate fascists policing our every word with Starmer's help?

I’ve been told I have the voice of a bird, Graham. Unfortunately, a magpie.
