All Out For In, Vote Remain

I’m all out for In, Boys, I’m all out for In I’ll not consign dear Europe to the bonfire or the bin We’ve fought too many flippin’ wars to call this thing a day And isn’t such division just a little bit passé? We’re a tiny little island, all surrounded by the sea And the days of the Empire are consigned to history Let’s not be cast adrift, Boys, in some Captain Pugwash boat Vote to stay in Europe, Boys, it won’t dry up the moat What say you? Immigration? What, the white ones or the black? Which ones, which precisely, are you wanting to send back? The ones who work for naff all cash, in dirt and sweat and mud? Or the ones who ran from ISIS just to save their children’s blood? What say you? Benefits? Well now, you’d best look in to that It isn’t quite that easy for them all to get a flat There’s rules to do with public funds, and residence as well And doesn’t all that tax evasion leave a nasty smell? And what about Intelligence, and Military Alliance Employment, the Economy, and Human Rights compliance? What will happen if we leave, well, lovely Boys, it won’t be pretty There’ll be rhetoric on rhetoric, committee on committee And all of flippin’ Europe will be looking down its nose “You’re not with us, you’re against us” will be how the anthem goes And Boris, hey don’t start me off, don’t listen to the bloke Unless you went to Eton you’re the punchline of his joke “More Bolly, Boris?” “Do you know, I don’t mind if I do Oh dear, I fear I’ve drunk the lot, and now there’s none for you” And Dave isn’t much better, though he’s talking far more sense Hey, even Ms Claire Perry’s on the right side of the fence And what about the Berlin Wall, the night that it came down You could hear the cheers from Germany from old Devizes Town We all thought that was progress, some sure sign of evolution How can leaving Europe be a sensible solution? And would you trust the Government to sell you a used car? I’d rather have them supervised by Europe, thank you, ta So, Votey McVote Face, it’s all down to you I’m all out for In, Boys, and I hope that you are too © Gail Foster 2016
