A contemporary version of the 18th-century satirical song, ‘The Vicar of Bray’
In trendy times when Tony ruled,
Rejecting the absurd way,
He wisely had me three times schooled
And led me down the third way.
(Refrain) And this the rule: who rules the day
I’ll laud upon my knees, sir,
But in my own respectful way
Will do just as I please, Sir!
I bow to Brown who rules with stealth
And, knowing how to borrow,
With prudence spends my worldly wealth
To pay for jam tomorrow. (Refrain)
When candid Cameron comes to reign
No matter what he axes,
I’ll praise the phrase, ‘No pain, no gain!’
And gladly pay my taxes. (Refrain)
