The Ying Tory Song

Bill Greenwell

Published 08 January 2001

Spike Milligan was knighted. William Hague suggested more people should be locked up

There's a song that I recall

Mike Howard sang to me

He sang it as he waved the cuffs

In nineteen-ninety-three:

Oh think-tank clink-clank

Clunk-click sing-sing

Nick-nick swivel-eyed woe

Slam-bang chain-gang

Vox-pop slop-cop

Bog-thick twaddle and co

Oh Group-four lock-door

Straw-law scrub-dub

Cheap-trick widde-combe crow

Screw-crew turn-key

Bail-fail bird-do

Jug-mug piddle-pie show

Whooooooooooh!
