Will you be payin...Absentee Annie, parody of virtue<br />Will you be paying us back ?<br />Gordon has said you must follow his lead<br />Putting you all on the rack<br />But you broke no rules you'll prob'ly say once again<br />Echoed by all of your friends<br />The system was flawed and scrutiny too weak<br />The excuses will never end<br />Open to exploitation, an invitation to get rich quick<br />Gratefully accepted though you knew it was wrong<br />Honourable members taking the mick<br />Hands in the till, filling their boots<br />Some claims were truly outrageous<br />Selfish demands from all sides of the house<br />The greed was clearly contagious<br />Some worse than others, shameless in fact<br />And all following the 'rules' to the letter<br />But the game was far too easy to play<br />And we hoped OUR MP would know better<br />A blocked toilet here, two sat-navs there<br />Were these really legitimate expenses ?<br />Constituents are often hauled into court<br />For far less serious offences<br />So pay it all back, even if you are'nt ordered<br />The gravy train's hit the buffers<br />Legg and Lyon are searching the wreckage<br />Weeding out all the shysters and duffers<br />Apply your own ethics, salvage some pride<br />You'll be the toast of Labour headquarters<br />And your public will no longer give a stuff<br />If you want to be rude to reporters !Expenses Doctornoreply@blogger.com
