I am the man from the council

I AM THE MAN FROM THE COUNCIL

I am the man from the council

I dig up all the roads

I close your car parks in the town

And lay out miles of cones

I live outside the city

Of that I make no bones

I build up smart apartment blocks

But never family homes

I cut out lots of jobs that waste

 I do it it’s a trend

I even start up new ones

that must include my friends

I put up all your council tax

Now that I can defend

When you can’t afford to pay it

You’ll see my hefty friends

 The buses are all late today

Because we’ve bumpy roads

Pot holes, gasworks tons of clay

Turned into one way roads

We close up all the local schools

And run them privately

My wife has shares in all of them

And even me you see

Is this just like your city?

If not I’ll come and see

I’ll speak to your head leader

Have you a job for me?

No more waste and jobs galore

Of that I’ll see for thee

I want a smart new office

and assistants two or three

If you don’t like what I do for you

I could not give a damn

You can never touch me

 I am the Council Man……..
