The Return of the Budgie
Here is the uncaped crusader
Here is the Robin of old
Here is the seventeenth cousin of Vader
Here is the cure for the cold
Here is the wock as in jabber
Here is the cap that won’t fit
Here is the mouth of the serial blabber
Here is the pendulum’s pit
Here is the flap as in doodle
Here is the myth that’s a mile
Here is the perm that was worn by a poodle
Here is the substance of style
Don’t have to fall in his Crisco
Don’t have to swallow his guff
Don’t have to dance to the beat of his disco
The nineties were more than enough
Here he is, Ed’s big supporter
Here is his free-floating cred
Oh God that the endless election were shorter
I think I’ll vote UKIP instead
