Song | Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher |
Artist | Elton John |
Album | Peachtree Road |
Lyrics:Lee Hall Music:Elton John | |
Can you hear it in the distance | |
Can you sense it far away | |
Is it old Rudolph the reindeer | |
Is it Santa on his sleigh | |
It's heading up to Easington | |
It's coming down the Tyne | |
Oh it's bloddy Maggie Thatcher | |
And Michael Heseltine | |
chorus: | |
So merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher | |
May God's love be with you | |
We all sing together in one breath | |
Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher | |
We all celebrate today | |
'Cause it's one day closer to your death | |
They've come to raid your stockings | |
And to steal your Christmas pud | |
But don't be too downhearted | |
It's all for your own good | |
The economic infrastructure | |
Must be swept away | |
To make way for call centres | |
And lower rates of pay | |
[repeat chorus] | |
And they've brought their fascist boot boys | |
And they've brought the boys in blue | |
And the whole Trade Union Congress | |
Will be at the party too | |
And they'll all hold hands together | |
All standing in a line | |
'Cause they're privatising Santa | |
This merry Christmas time | |
[repeat chorus] | |
[repeat chorus] | |
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Heseltine | |
You're a tosser, you're a tosser | |
And you're just a Tory Swine |
