(With apologies to Bob & Earl)
You move to the left,
Put Gove on the shelf.
You move to the right,
Ken Clark’s out of sight.
Get those women; you know
They do well in the polls
Elections looming fast;
You can’t be last.
You'd sign up a monkey,
If it made you look cool;
With the old guard in limbo,
Your squad's good to go
So call all the papers
Tell them ‘look at me now!”
As you groove it right here
To the harem shuffle.
Update: (with thanks to Mark Wadsworth in comments) Or, if you prefer:
Well, it's a genius post title, even though somebody else gets the credit.
ReplyDeleteFollowed by lengthy discussion whether we prefer the Stones cover or the Bob and Earl version.
Glad to have provided conversational material, MW.
ReplyDeleteI chose the Stones' version for reasons of a) familiarity and b) clarity but am happy to add a link to the original as an alternative to Jagger's priapic strutting.
One of 'em looks better than Ken Clarke.
