We Want a New Prime Minister for Christmas

We want a new Prime Minister for Christmas
But none of those who want the job will do
No silly Eton fop, no lefty loony toon
We want a real Prime Minister and want him very soon.
We want a new Prime Minister for Christmas
I know that Santa Claus won’t mind at all
No parcels in the sleigh, won’t even have to call
Just leave her in ten Downing Street
Where she can have a ball
The country would be pleased on Christmas morning
With politicians who don’t always lie
When we roll out of bed
The radio will say
There’s no bad news today
Just celebrate instead
We want a new Prime Minister for Christmas
And only a good honest one will do
No half baked union man, no journalistic fraud
No crazy idealist and no wielder of a sword
And maybe then we could be honest too.
My Mum says there aren’t honest politicians
My teacher says she shares my mum’s suspicions
But surely we don’t have to settle for
This current ghastly lot
Who all should have been shot
And none of them know how they ought to score
I want a GOOD prime minister for Christmas
But somehow I don’t think that’s gonna be
So bring a hippopotamus for Christmas
Well let him lead our nation for a year
He can’t be half as bad
As the last few that we’ve had
So give our pachyderm a hearty cheer!
