Check the Malls

Tramp the malls with pots of lolly,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

‘Tis the time for New Year folly,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

The poor have chipped glass, not a barrel:

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

They’re dressed in old and patched apparel,

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la!

See the Brexit dole before us,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

Pawn the harp and flog the chorus,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

Swallow down the Tories’ measure,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

Poverty’s their lasting pleasure,

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la!

Dropped and dead the old year passes

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

With greater splits between the classes,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

Grinning, scoffing all together,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la!

Tories rampage; there’s no tether,

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, la!
