Do-Gooders Coke Cola Bus

I see the Do-Gooders are out in force again And this time it's the annual Christmas Coke Cola Bus Stirring up the fuss Crusaders against any and every cause No topic to juvenile or puerile to rage against They want to ban children visiting the Coke Cola bus Because some children are obese And as they see it this is there duty to stop As it will somehow end and solve the crisis Now correct me if I am wrong But I have never seen a child Buying or pushing a shopping cart Around a Supermarket With a Credit Card Or am I shopping on the wrong child friendly day's It's usually Parents who buy and choose the items in the trolley And Parents who cook make or feed their kids What is the point or to what end Is banning the bus so children can't see it Going to make a blind bit of difference And why should everyone have to pay the price Or is that old teacher's adage You see now you have ruined it for everyone Father Christmas Santa Claus In all its modern day guises White Beard Red Santa Suit Is a Coke Cola patented trademark They invented modern day Christmas As we have come to know it I know it is crass to say but Coke has done more to promote Christmas Than religion or church has I wish all these Do-Gooding people would stop trying to fix us Who actually asked them to And why do they know best Who anointed them saviors of the rest The only thing good intentions have ever taught me is Walk a mile in my shoes Looking out your warm safe curtain windows And your rose tinted views For what its worth You will never be the same When you know what the reality of a life of pain brings You cling on to the small things Like the annual Christmas Bus Beside Mum and Dad Fulfilled and glad Is that so bad
