Little Britain (70)

Little Britain (70)

1

Andrew with the coloured pencils

A disciple of some comic book

Keen to be a famous artist

Or otherwise a TV cook

Renee if I’m not mistaken

Failed to pay her weekly rent

The best that charity could offer

Were sites that catered for a tent

2

Andrew with the coloured pencils

Continued with the comic theme

In the knowledge that derision

Wouldn’t help his self esteem

Forget the cardboard to house Renee

There’s room enough inside my bed

Let’s say the attic for her children

To help the darlings get ahead

Chorus

Harvey sailed to Trafalgar

Horatio Nelson led the way

Villeneuve was quickly beaten

By Little Britain: hip hip hooray

Turner didn’t care for fighting

Goya claimed war was a crime

Regnault soon wearied of sailing

Once art took up his precious time

3

Red Renee, ignore the curtains

And the floorboard with a split

It’s better to rescue this planet

Than be some fool exploiting it

Naturally true competition

To the starboard likes to lean

While the Temeraire departed

A shipwreck yes, but so serene

4

Red Renee, how about it

I’m hoping we can really try

To retrieve our pretty planet

From the bankers gone awry

Look at Nelson and then Harvey

Plus the nations that they beat

All we need is Che Guevara

Or Fidel Castro on his feet

Chorus

Harvey sailed to Trafalgar

Horatio Nelson led the way

Villeneuve was quickly beaten

By Little Britain: hip hip hooray

Turner didn’t care for fighting

Goya claimed war was a crime

Regnault soon wearied of sailing

Once art took up his precious time

The End
