Deep Pocket Parliamentary Shanty (A song for modern day pirates)

Away, haul away

We’ll haul to line our pockets

Away haul away

It’s what MPs do.

 

We vote for or own payrise

We’ll haul to line our pockets

At ten percent ago

It’s what MPs do.

 

With gold plated pensions

We’ll haul to line our pockets

On the backs of the voters

It’s what MPs do.

 

Away, haul away

We’ll haul to line our pockets

Away haul away

It’s what MPs do.

 

We’re arrogant and pompous

We’ll haul to line our pockets

We don’t care a damn

It’s what MPs do.

 

It’s always do as we say

We’ll haul to line our pockets

And never as we do

It’s what MPs do.

 

Away, haul away

We’ll haul to line our pockets

Away haul away

It’s what MPs do.

 

With fact finding missions

We’ll haul to line our pockets

We copy Air Miles Tony,

It’s what MPs do.

 

We’ll stay on the gravy train

We’ll haul to line our pockets

 Unending expenses

It’s what MPs do.

 

Away, haul away

We’ll haul to line our pockets

Away haul away

It’s what MPs do

Hi Clarissa - thanks fo taking the time to read and comment, much appreciated.
I'm not a fan of politicians in general, but our current crop just seem so intent on getting, and keeping, their hands in my wallet.
Thieves, Rogues and Vagabonds all.

Hi Alan, This is great! Its the same way here.They lie and get elected, then do all they can to line their own pockets. Here they give themselves pay raises, they get better health care, they get security for life, pay for life, even if just in office for one term.They make laws that help them, and not us.They change the form of government, from a republic to a democracy and make it seem like to the average dork that its been that way all along. Love it, they are pirates ! Wonder what will become of them in time?
