Declan Ganley: a modern major general
(With apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan, HMS Pinafore)
I am the very model of a modern major Europhobe
I live in Eastern Europe and have dodgy links around the globe
I have a thing called Libertas
With funding clear as toilet glass
From US hawks and army brass
And pensioners in Ballinrobe
He has a thing called Libertas
With funding clear as toilet glass
From US military brass
And pensioners in Ballinrobe
My business interests range from Ballybeg to northern Kyrghistan
I've contracts with the CIA, the Russians and the Taliban
My interest in democracy
With full accountability
Is limited to men like me
With millions stashed in krugerands
His interest in democracy
With full accountability
Is limited to men like he
With millions stashed in krugerands
My eurosceptic plan is for a Europe full of nation states
With minimal protection from big business and from Billy Gates
I'm sick of meddling Eurocrats
Enforcing regulations that
Prevent my bank in Montserrat
From hiding my taxation rate
He's sick of meddling Eurocrats
Enforcing regulations that
Prevent his bank in Montserrat
From hiding his taxation rate
Predicting Irish misery and hardship is the key to this,
Commission seats will go and we'll be terminating foetuses
Our jobs will scarper, crime will soar
We'll all be fighting foreign wars
And women won't shave anymore
Their garlic breath will smell like piss
Our jobs will scarper, crime will soar
We'll all be fighting foreign wars
And women won't shave anymore
Their garlic breath will smell like piss
My cultivated image as a fuhrer is deliberate
My suit is grey and stiffened with a kilo full of starch in it
My boots are black, my hair is tight
I drill in uniform at night
My secret bunker's quite a sight
Beneath the sea off Ballybrit
His boots are black, his hair is tight
He drills in uniform at night
His secret bunker's quite a sight
Beneath the sea off Ballybrit
Oh I'm the very model of a modern major Europhobe
Don't want no regulators with their 'legal rules' and 'market probes'
I'll fight with fury, shock and awe
You'll never catch me, bunch of daws
Mu haw haw haw haw haw
No closer, please: I'm rigged to blow.
He'll fight with fury, shock and awe
You'll never catch him, bunch of daws
Mu haw haw haw haw haw
No closer, please: he's rigged to blow.
Thatt'ss itt. You are on the listttt.

heh heh.
I'm quite looking forward to the bold Declan calling to the door looking for a vote.
p.s. there needs to be a competition to identify the most photoshopped election poster (i.e. poster image looks least like the actual person) - Jim Higgins is currently the favourite....
