《The Socialist ABC》歌词

[00:00:00] The Socialist ABC - David Clelland MP

[00:00:02] When I was just a tiny little lad

[00:00:06] Me daddy said to me

[00:00:09] The time has come me bonny bonny bairn

[00:00:14] To learn your abc

[00:00:18] Now daddy was a lodge chairman

[00:00:20] In the coalfields of the tyne

[00:00:22] And his alphabetic was different

[00:00:24] From the enid blyton kind

[00:00:30] He sang 'a is for alienation

[00:00:34] That made me the man that I am and

[00:00:37] B's for the boss who's a bastard

[00:00:41] A bourgeois who don't give a damn

[00:00:44] C is for capitalism

[00:00:47] The bosses' reactionary creed and

[00:00:51] D's for dictatorship laddie

[00:00:53] But the best proletarian breed

[00:00:57] E is for exploitation

[00:01:00] That workers have suffered so long and

[00:01:04] F is for old ludwig feuerbach

[00:01:07] The first one to say it was wrong

[00:01:13] G is all gerrymanderers

[00:01:16] Like lord muck and sir whatsisname and

[00:01:20] H is the hell that they'll go to

[00:01:23] When the workers have kindled the flame

[00:01:26] I's for imperialism

[00:01:30] And america's kind is the worst and

[00:01:32] J is for sweet jingoism

[00:01:36] That the tories all think of the first

[00:01:40] K is for good old kier hardy

[00:01:43] Who fought out the working class fight and

[00:01:46] L is for vladimir lenin

[00:01:49] Who showed him the left was all right

[00:01:53] M is of course for karl marx

[00:01:56] The mommy and the daddy of them all and

[00:01:59] N is for nationalisation

[00:02:02] Without it we'd crumble and fall

[00:02:06] O is for overproduction

[00:02:09] That capitalist economy brings and

[00:02:12] P is for all private property

[00:02:15] The greatest of all of the sins

[00:02:19] Q's for the quid pro quo

[00:02:22] That we'll deal out so well and so soon when

[00:02:25] R for revolution is shouted and

[00:02:29] The red flag becomes the top tune

[00:02:32] S is for sad stalinism

[00:02:35] That gave us all such a bad name and

[00:02:38] T is for trotsky the hero

[00:02:42] Who had to take all of the blame

[00:02:45] U's for the union of workers

[00:02:48] The union will live to the end and

[00:02:51] V is for vodka yes vodka

[00:02:54] The vun drink that vont bring the bends

[00:02:58] W's for all willing workers

[00:03:01] And that's where the memory fades

[00:03:04] For x y and zed me poor daddy said

[00:03:08] Will be written on the street barricades

[00:03:12] But now that I'm along not tiny little lad

[00:03:16] Me daddy says to me

[00:03:19] Please try to forget the thing that I said

[00:03:24] Especially the abc

[00:03:28] For daddy is no longer a union man

[00:03:32] And he's had to change his plea

[00:03:36] His alphabet is different now

[00:03:42] They made him a labour mp
