A free London flat? I wouldn’t want that!

Who wants sponduliks cash-in-hand?

I don’t

Who wants the Union’s hundred grand?

Who wants to be a millionaire?

I don’t

Dine out on junkets in Red Square?

I don’t

Who wants to mix with City traders and clerks?

They’re just bourgeois sharks according to Marx.

Who cares about the NUM?

I don’t

I’ve had my pickings out of them

I have

Who cares for Lenin, Engels, Trotsky?

I don’t

No I don’t

Cos I just cared for me.

 

 

Who wants to be a millionaire?

I don’t

Gross allegations everywhere

Everyone knows that I would not misbehave

Who took the Far Left’s accolades?

I did

Who urged you to the barricades?

I did

Who’s the Great Revolutionary?

I was

But I’m not

I did it all for me.

Run off with loads of silverware?

So who’s the socialist on a spree?

I am

Yes I am

I did it all for me.

250,000 of us there were then, Harry. About 3,000 now. His predictions were right but his prosecution of the strike abysmal.

I never liked him but then I don't know much about politics. Never realised he was such a bad man though. Jeepers - peeps like that shouldn't be leading people anywhere.

Gallently sung John.
