about

In the wake of the referendum, Boris and Dave realise the mistakes they've made. Michael steps forward in hopes of becoming the new Prime Minister.

lyrics

BORIS: Have you ever bitten off
More than you could chew?
Found yourself too deep inside,
Something that you knew defied,
Everything that you were meant to do?

I thought it was a game,
One grand throw of the dice.
No one ever took me serious
In my whole life.

I’m just a clown, you see,
A joker and a rogue.
Now I’ve gone and screwed the nation,
Cos I thought that it would hasten

My rise to the very top,
But now it’s clear, the game is up.
I’m just a clown and clowns can never be....

Prime Minister GB
(clowns can never be)
Prime Minister GB

DAVE: Have you ever bitten off
More than you could chew?
I gave you people what you want
And this how you say, “thank you”?

I wanted resolution,
Quell backbencher revolution,
Now I’ll go down in history
As the nob who broke the union.

I didn’t meet my fiscal targets
Forced the poor to nearly starve, it’s
Food banks that are my legacy,

Prime Minister GB
(Don’t forget about the pig)
Prime Minister GB

MICHAEL: Finally, something
To get my teeth into.
I’m fated for the greatest heights
I’ll soar above you parasites.

I’ll make this country great,
After Brexit, just you wait:
With Gove in charge, we’ll live it large,
Your poverty, I will enlarge.

You all misjudged the Gove, ignored
My hunger for the throne, deplored
My weird face, but now it’s time to be,

Prime Minister, GB.
(He wants to be)
Prime Minister, GB

DAVE: I rolled the dice,
BORIS: I raised the stakes,
MICHAEL: It’s time I took my rightful place!

We may have bitten off
(It was a gamble and we bloody lost)
More than we could chew
(Now we're counting the cost)
Found ourselves too deep inside
A scheme gone far askew

We didn't think it through
(We thought they'd just vote to stay)
Misjudged the public view
(Who does the research anyway?)
It never should have come to this,
Farage, that fucking anarchist!

BORIS: And now I'm all alone
Ridiculed abroad and home
How can one with all this cash
And privilege make such a monstrous gaffe?
