Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Lee Hall
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 bloody 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
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 hold hands together
All standing
in a line
'Cause they're privatising Santa
This merry
Christmas time
Chorus twice
O my darling, O my darling, O my darling Heseltine
You're
a tosser, you're a tosser
And you're just a Tory Swine
