Lyrics to Jubilee
Are you coming to Great BritainIt`s a year of celebration
One long party for Her Majesty
It's a British institution
The Silver Jubilee
Take a bus and see the dole queues
Enjoy spectacular inflation
You'll be knocked out by our poverty
Another British institution
Like the Silver Jubilee
Spend a penny for the Jubilee
Buy a mug and a medallion
Buy a photo of Her Highness
Sitting proud upon a stallion
But stay well away from my street
Ten percent are out of work
And some disloyal little burke
Might shout a foul obscenity
About the Silver Jubilee
Photograph the inner cities
Snap instamatic devastation
See the natives cope with bankruptcy
By crafting little contributions
Trinkets for the Jubilee
Come to Britain for the Jubilee
You'll find our monarch full of charm, cock
And you can go home with her likeness
On a souvenir alarm clock
But stay well away from my street
Ten percent are out of work
Sorry!
Twelve percent are out of work
And some disloyal little burke
Might shout a foul obscenity
About the Silver Jubilee
Jubilee
