Strawberry Fields


You will be fully investigated

From the minute you leave office

Prime Minister

That is if you have not been strung up beforehand

Lelia was sitting in front of the television

She was smiling broadly as she often did

Shall I buy the rope or will you do so

We already have some under the stairs

As normal my flat mate and comrade

Was wearing her Che Guevara tee shirt

Which I had given her many years previously

He was a broken man during those last hours

He was hunched and his eyes were full of fear

It is not the Che Guevara you wear proudly

I tell you what Comrade

I will give you my Beatles tee shirt in exchange

In exchange for what

Your Che Guevara tee shirt

I like my tee shirt

Like the revolutionary it has seen better days

What does your Beatles tee shirt look like

A Beatles tee shirt

With Strawberry Fields Forever printed

On the front and back of the garment

How many strawberries are featured

Here look for yourself

I do like the tee shirt Tussy

May I have it

Be my guest

But do show some modesty

As we are next to a busy bus stop

The eighty-six is running late

The people waiting will see you

They will think that I am a boy

You may be very flat Lelia

But you are delicate of features

Which will betray you

Here what do you think

You look great

I love it

Here is my Che tee shirt

Do what you want with it Tuss

I am going to put it in the incinerator 

Go ahead as I have grown tired of it

Tuss look at this

They are leading the Prime Minister out in handcuffs

I think he has been arrested

Are you sure he is not into bondage

Not a nice thought Tussy

I agree

There he goes

Good riddance I say

Where are our weapons

Not sure

Under the kitchen sink I think

We will have to be quick

The revolution is about to begin

The bus is running late

It may even be cancelled

Do you fancy staying in

It is a shitty day

I will make breakfast

Leave the telly on Tuss

There is going to be live coverage

Live coverage of what

The lynching

Traitors are always lynched



Praise Marx and Pass the Honey (p 28)
