KICK THE CAT (Pat McIntyre) Oh it is hard you will agree To know your place in Britain's meritocracy It's most important you should know The people who're above you and the ones below Oh oh you should know The people who're above you and the ones below If Parliament's where you would be Be sure you come from Oxford with a good degree For then you may in your accent smooth Persuade the shiftless workers to the polling booth A redbrick university Puts you on the lower branches of the tree And even there you'll have a ball Scorning those who never reach the tree at all Lawyers, doctors, dentists pass Their examination to the middle class Especially if they've just scraped through I'll give you ten to one that they'll look down on you If proper status you would win Be sure to hang your curtains with the right side in No one's below you, fancy that Then your only consolation is to kick the cat This is what the Spinners sang on 'Not Quite Folk' (1969). @political @cat @animal filename[ KICKCAT SKW Feb07  8note Sheet |
