Mushroom picking in the Chernobyl area Yeah, mushroom picking in the Chernobyl area Yeah, Trump, make me an omelette You won't have to eat it, that wouldn't be fair Yeah, Trump, make me an omelette You won't have to eat it, that wouldn't be fair That wouldn't be fair, that wouldn't be fair I am resistant to radioactivity A gift I got from God and the KGB No rotting atoms will murder me My destiny is very clear So, mushroom picking in the Chernobyl region With my members, their numbers legion Le Pen, make me a stroganoff You won't have to lick it off, that wouldn't be fair Farage, rustle me up a risotto, to get completely blottoed Is totally fair On vodka, I swear Real ale I can't bear I am resistant to radiation I dip my combover in high-grade plutonium Uranium, neptunium, prometheum Will never be a match for those of us Olympian So, mushroom picking in the Chernobyl area Yeah, mushroom picking in the Chernobyl area Now, mushroom picking in the Chernobyl area Yeah, mushroom picking in the Chernobyl area

Genocidal maniacs in Languedoc Hacking babies' legs off in the name of God Slicing tongues and cutting heretics' noses off Early Christians looking down in horror I'm with the Perfecti, Perfecti I'm with the Perfecti, although they didn't have perfect eyes They were kind of nice Yes, these people had some madcap notions But they never killed so why, then, the commotion? If you take a pacifist position You're liable to face an inquisition I'm with the Perfecti, Perfecti I'm with the Perfecti, although they didn't have perfect eyes They were kind of nice

You lot are getting on my wick I'd better come up with something quick Can't have apathy or a no-vote We've got six months to invent a scapegoat Imagine if I did everything I said I'd do I'm sorry for the worry and the panic I'll put you through Majestic promises in every section Is the usual way to win an election But we know the score and we know the story The best is a let-down, the worst is gory But I'm the other way round, I promise hell I'm lying, do you think that the disgruntled can tell I nipped in there before the other contenders Before a real fascho stepped on board I hate equality for the genders But I love it even more 'How did it get to this?' I hear you cry 'It must be the foreigner's fault', is my reply Oh, were it just the dispossessed The overworked, the unemployed Clamouring for the blood of someone Right now I'd be overjoyed But the fearful folk with their heads in the Daily Mail Swing it past the post and beyond the pale If I crush your enemies It won't put a sausage on your dish But some of you seem to want me to say it Like hounds, some of you bay it Imagine I said I was cruel when I wanted to be kind People of the nation, would you mind Imagine I said I was cruel when I wanted to be kind People of the nation, would you mind

A cauliflower came up to my door Saying, 'Try me and if you like me have some more.' 'Blow me', I said, 'a walking, talking vegetable.' I screamed and screamed and screamed and slammed the door Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids A courgette, grinning, stood upon my window, 'My job', it said, 'is to go wherever the wind blows' I tried to escape via a back door but was pummelled hard By an armoured, ten-foot, aubergine security guard Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids 'So, help yourself to round-up ready beers You've been asleep for 27 years Monsanto rule the world now, this is commonplace We've got the Earth, next stop is outer space' Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids Day of the Food Triffids
