Johnny Maggie, NewsRevue Lyric, 19 September 1993

Some good lines in this one but I have a feeling it wasn’t used. I had plenty in the show at that time and perhaps this wasn’t my strongest political lyric when taken as a whole.

JOHNNY MAGGIE _

(To the Tune of “Johnny Reggae”)
 
INTRO
 
CHORUS:What’s he like Margaret?
MAGGIE:He’s a real dreary geezer.
 
VERSE 1 – MAGGIE THATCHER
 
He’s going bald a bit and he’s been in power much too long;
And he wears a nylon tie with the label “C&A” on;
He always makes a cock up when decisions cross his path,
He’s stupid over cricket,
And he couldn’t run a bath.
 
CHORUS 1 – CHORUS
 
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie,
Slag off Johnny Maggie,
Johnny Major Maggie,
Lay it on him;
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie,
In your memoirs Maggie,
Slag off Johnny Maggie,
Blame it on him.
 
VERSE 2 – JOHNNY MAJOR
 
While still in power she promised she would go on and on;
And most of Maggie’s memoirs are like a dose of Mogadon;
Her publishers were anxious cos they want a best seller;
They told her “spice it up a bit,
Slag off that Major fellah.”
 
CHORUS 2 – CHORUS
 
Maggie is a menace,
She slurs more than Dennis,
Her book shook John then it’s
Hit the stalls;
Johnny tried to cage her,
But he can’t upstage her,
Maggie’s got John Major by the balls!!!
