Overthrowing A Brown (song)

Evening ladies and gents. Any thoughts/ line preferences?

DEATH OF A BROWN to the tune of DEATH OF A CLOWN by THE KINKS

NARRATOR (POSSIBLY ALASTAIR DARLING) SINGING
And now Gordon Brown's got to turn up the spin (/get thicker skin)
Hewitt and Hoon challenging from within

PATRICIA HEWITT AND GEOFF HOON

The old Party Whip cannot mute us no more
We've had enough of this fi-nan-cial bore

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
So they didn't vote for the death of a Brown
Won't someone help us to de-throne this clown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink to the sacking of Brown

The ballots, like snow drifts now litter the floor
No one else voted, the turn-out was poor (/he still lives next door IF DARLING IS THE NARRATOR)
Like in a teacup's pro-ver-bial storm
Weathered by Brown and his supp-or-ting Pawns.
(or: Brown's still in power to see through reform)

We can't depose that damn chump Gordon Brown
Though-he wasn't elected, the four-letter noun
Let's all drink to the coup that fells Brown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Let's all drink 'cause out Party will drown
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Nice one Rob0 :D.

Didn't recognise song title immediately, until I sought out the Tube, then it came flooding back - Muswell Hill-billies! Here's the link:

Very good.

'Brown' and 'Four-letter noun' genius :D
