Saturday Song: Rupert's In Town ...

... and its business.

Who wants to spend a year in gaol ?
Who wants their bid for Sky to fail ?
Who wants the bother of a big public fuss ?
A big public fuss is no good for us !

Who wants bad headlines ev’ry day ?
When Chinese markets are in play ?
Who wants shame and opprobrium too ?
And I don’t, cos all I want is Hu


Who wants the wretched BBC ?

Who wants his stuff online for free ?
Who wants to burden Fox with neutrality ?

What, neutrality ? that’s no use to me !
Who wants to bother with the facts ?
Who wants to pay out any tax ?
Who cares for human rights, or for Liu ?
And I don’t, cos all I want is Hu

I've got one for you ND, can you come up with one starting:

"Mr King was in his printing house, printing lots of money ..."

I've been trying and failing :(

Here goes then:

Sing a song of sterling,
A nation full of debt,
A trillion quid of IOU's,
In a big game of roulette.

Chips were piled up to the ceiling,
When the wheel ceased to spin,
The house of cards came tumbling down,
So they turned to Mervyn King.

Mr King was in his printing house,
Printing lots of money,
Mr Bean was on the BBC,
Talking up a rally.

Mr Brown was at the DMO,
Racking up a slate,
When down came a PIIGS bond crash,
Making everything stagnate.

There was lots of inflation,
But growth was not a lot,
Mr King was on three hundred K,
And didn't care a jot.

Anyone up for getting pissed and singing it outside his office?

Perhaps C@w can become the haven of political poetry.
