I'd puke for the Duke
And I'd hurl for an Earl
But I'm really not keen
On a clean for the Queen
I'd kill for the thrill
Of a gunfight with Phil
(Or with Harry or Will)
I'd chuck for the Duchess
And wince at the Prince
But I will not be seen
To clean for the Queen

(in the style of Hilaire Belloc)
Young Michael was a ghastly child
Who frightened people when he smiled
And though he didn't have a clue
He told his teachers what to do,
Upset the children and the grown-ups,
Made a mess but never owned up.

They're not like us
They spit in the street
They fish for the plate
And you can't tell what they're saying
They're not like us.
They're not the same as you and me
Their food is bland
They shout in public
They have mobile phones and expensive-looking trainers
Not like us.

Tell me Jeremy, with lives at stake
Aren't doctors safer when they're awake?
Would you have surgery from a doc
Who's been on duty round the clock?
Tell me Jeremy, tell me why
You seem to think that you can buy
Our doctors' lives, and their assent
For pieces of silver, a few per cent?

Are you free next Wednesday?
Sorry mate, I can not say
I won't be told until the day
And even then, you know I may
Still find that I am called away
