Emails, Lies and Smears
(To the tune of Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves by Cher)
Now here's a tale about politics and spin
A man called McBride and original sin
He tried so hard to impress his boss
By thinking up stuff, stories so bad to make the Tories cross
Chorus:
Emails, lies and smears
Labour's spin has been undone
With (all those) emails, lies and smears
Dirty tricks was the cry but they replied
It was just a bit of fun
McBride worked hard and then early one day
He thought up a plan to blow the Tories away
An STD for David Cameron
It sounded oh so good
You know the papers gonna print whatever they've done
Chorus:
Emails, lies and smears.....
Now it all turned nasty for Mr McBride
Because the stories crossed the line
Three months later he's a guy in trouble
And he's been forced to resign, uh huh
He's been forced to resign uh-huh
Now Gordon's trying to fix the mess that he's in
He pretends he didn't know about any of this spin
But he keeps forgetting once again,
All these nasty emails, they're all sent from Number Ten
Chorus:
Emails, lies and smears.......
