There was an old lady who swallowed a lie;
I don’t know why she swallowed a lie – perhaps we’ll die

There was an old lady who abandoned a vote;
Instead of debating she just grabbed her coat.

She abandoned the vote to protect the lie;
I don’t know why she swallowed a lie – Perhaps we’ll die

There was an old lady who ignored public voices
“It’s the will of the people” she screamed in their faces

She ignored the voices and abandoned the vote;
Instead of debating she just grabbed her coat.
She abandoned the vote to protect the lie;
I don’t know why she swallowed a lie – Perhaps we’ll die

There was an old lady who laughed at experts,
who said trade would collapse and people’d get hurt

She laughed at the experts who agreed with the voices
She ignored the voices and abandoned the vote;
Instead of debating she just grabbed her coat.
She abandoned the vote to protect the lie;
I don’t know why she swallowed a lie – Perhaps we’ll die

There was an old lady who hired a ferry;
To fix the trade routes she’d damaged in her hurry
She hired a ferry to laugh at the experts
She laughed at the experts who agreed with the voices
She ignored the voices and abandoned the vote;
Instead of debating she just grabbed her coat.
She abandoned the vote to protect the lie;
I don’t know why she swallowed a lie – Perhaps we’ll die

There was an old lady who swallowed Liam Fox
And Michael Gove and all the Queen’s yachts
She swallowed the yachts to replace the ferry
She hired a ferry to laugh at the experts
She laughed at the experts who agreed with the voices
She ignored the voices and abandoned the vote;
Instead of debating she just grabbed her coat.
She abandoned the vote to protect the lie;
I don’t know why she swallowed a lie – Perhaps we’ll die

There was an old lady who swallowed the Scots
Who stuck in her throat and made her throw up
She swallowed the Scots to sink the yachts
She swallowed the yachts to replace the ferry
She hired a ferry to laugh at the experts
She laughed at the experts who agreed with the voices
She ignored the voices and abandoned the vote;
Instead of debating she just grabbed her coat.
She abandoned the vote to protect the lie;
I don’t know why she swallowed a lie – Perhaps we’ll die

There was an old lady who really fucked up
She’s dead as a duck
