Dont mess with Bertie no more

category national | bin tax / household tax / water tax | opinion/analysis author Tuesday June 21, 2005 14:39author by john McDermott - removefiannafailauthor email jmcd444 at yahoo dot comauthor address Spain Report this post to the editors

No more playing games with the P.D.s?

The end of a relationship is in sight...
You heel Bertie! it,s all over.!
You heel Bertie! it,s all over.!

Soldiers Soldiers of destiny,
They tour the globe ,and its all for free!
Always abroad on some jolly spree...
With the taxes they steal from you and me.!
Chorus
With the taxes they steal from you and me.!

Wheely bins taxed to enrich the rich
The poor dump their garbage in the nearest ditch.!
Bertie Ahern you are such a bitch
You steal from the poor to enrich the rich!
Chorus
And the poor dump their garbage in the nearest ditch.!

In the race against waste we must make haste
Fianna Fail soldiers are all two faced!.
They duck and dive,as they lie and connive,
Sozzled with whiskey in overdrive!
Chorus
Sozzled with whiskey in overdrive.!

In every county, they have a T.D.,
who drives about town on a drunken spree,
Theyre amenable to all kinds of bribery.!
And there,s nothing they wont do for a modest fee,
Specially, in a marginal constituency!
chorus
Nothing they wont do for a modest fee
specially in a marginal constituency.!

The newspapers say we are most of us bent,
and even worse than that-plain incompetent.!
But the Farmers and the Unions are all content,
we bribe them with your taxes- and it,s money well spent.!
Chorus
We bribe them with your taxes- and it,s money well spent!

Mary Harney was a P.D with liberalising tricks,
who schemed to right the things we didnt want to fix.!
But, Bertie stood up to the Dominatrix.
We may come from the bog,we may look like hicks
But the Soldiers of Destiny are not all thicks.!
chorus
The Soldiers of Destiny are not all thicks.!

In truth we are happy,- as happy as can be,
With a leader sweet and wholesome like kind Bertie!
His medal from the Pope,will save him from the rope
That swings from the scaffold for each T.D.
chorus
His medal from the Pope will save him from the rope
that swings from the scaffold for each T.D.!
