Hey Mickey (Political Parody)

Frustration at governments with whom one is opposed is not unusual. I find that writing parody lyrics to well-known songs is fun anyway, so combining this with political commentary is an ideal vehicle to provide some relief. This is but one. (More to follow)


Hey Mickey (Toni Basil)

(Chant, repeat 4 times) 
Oh Rishi, you're a swine
You paid a fine, another time 
Hey Rishi, hey Rishi

Hey Rishi
Your party is a fright and twelve years' a little long
You represent far right but I think you've got it wrong
Why can't you be less tight?
So we can heat our homes, Rishi

'Cause when you say you will, it always means you won't
You're givin' us the chills, maybe freeze maybe don't
Every blight you instill leaves us all to moan, Rishi

CHORUS
Oh Rishi, what a pity, all that you have planned
It tears us all apart with each cut or tax demand
Oh Rishi in the City, we all understand
It's guys like you, Rishi
Ooh what you do Rishi, do Rishi
Won't you depart, Rishi

Hey Rishi
Now with our income devalued and your cronies getting mo'
Even though there's proof, mainstream media you control
There's something you misuse? We won't hear so, Rishi

You'll come on and take it from us anyway you can
Anyway you want to do it, now you've got a protest ban
And sleaze, MP sleaze - you put us in this jam Rishi

Chorus, Chant × 4, Chorus × 4
