Give Me A Life Sentence

Give me some telomerase, oh give it to me, nurse
Spread it on my bread and let it dribble on my chin
I want to live forever and I can't afford a hearse
Let it tone my bone and let it keep me in my skin
Keep your Elke Sommer gaze and never mind your Bardot
Give me some telomerase and give me El Dorado

Give me some telomerase, oh give it to me, matron
Give me your elixir, and an extra sixty years
I will be telomerase's saint, I'll be its patron
Help me from my sickbed, or my world will end in tears
Never mind your comic gaze, and never mind your laughter
Give me some telomerase and Happy Ever After

Give me some telomerase, oh give it to me, quickly
Please prolong the parliament and keep me in my seat
Hurry up and bang it in, I'm feeling pretty sickly
Don't let me meet my Maker, oh please keep me on my feet
Do not blow my bomb ablaze, it's a rally I am staging
Give me some telomerase and put an end to ageing

Yes, give me some telomerase, oh give it to me, surgeon
If God is one great woman, show me how I may bamboozle her
Keep me free from funerals and do not sing a dirge and
Let me soldier on until I'm older than Methusaleh
Let me have a longer phase and keep me hale and hearty
Give me some telomerase, I am the Labour Party

Give Me A Life Sentence
Parliament was opened for the last time before the General Election. Scientists claim they've found the gene that will help you live longer. It's called telomerase.
