Glorious manifesto
We're waiting and ready, oh Ted. If you think you're so far in the red, The question once more you must pop To voters you've caught on the hop; For, if to the country you go, Labour's now got its manifesto!
Those wanting to save from its fate Our nation, so prone to inflate; Or deal with the EEC quirks In ways that will yield us good perks; The answer's not easy to know By reading our manifesto!
A passage that's hard to expound Makes clear how to salvage the pound. Industrial policy too Needs careful perusing right through. But you'll soon get a warm rosy glow By reading our manifesto!
So though we're not sure what it means, It will help to avoid nasty scenes By backing up what each believes For us it will strike a great blow, In tangles of web that it weaves Our glorious manifesto!
