Bring on the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Dear voter attention sit up and take note
Of this public announcement for next time you vote
Instead of a candidate choice when you poll
We'll give you an ice cream and free sausage roll
Or sweeties and cake and a big bag of chips
Cup of tea beer or a cocktail to sip
Who wants to hear speeches political guff
We know that you hate all that boring old stuff
Forget all your worries of war and disease
No one can fix it forget all that please
And focus on what we can really do best
Catchy quick soundbites that couldn't mean less
Like make it all great again that will get votes
Deport all the foreigners stop all the boats
No men wearing dresses or other perversions
Forget education it’s just a diversion
Those TV news readers who spread doom and gloom
Will be banished and punished locked out of the room
Smarty pants lawyers who think they can stop
Our latest reforms will be given the chop
Our leaders will all wear a funny red nose
And clown costumes just to cheer up all of those
Grumpy old moaners who hate to admit
We were right all along to just not give a shit
So please do take note that your new polling station
Will be set up to cater for your recreation
With dancing and side shows ‘twill be such a hoot
Lots of free food and a pudding to boot
Dear voter its time to forget all you knew
A fun new democracy's coming to you
