The price of butter has shot up
See what Putin’s done!
Cost of living through the roof
Since Putin got his gun
And people die in Africa
A war there in Tigray
Northern Ethiopia
A long long way away
And Boris Johnson played hard nut
Twenty-five years ago
Bulldog Johnson Churchill style
Would run the IRA
And Benedict is dying
Dear old gentle man
A scholar to his fingernails
Hard to be top man
And who will put the world to rights?
Who a saviour now?
Follow the one who showed the way
His way his love I vow
