#The Anthem of the ANC

Hurrah, hurrah, we're ANC
The masters of democracy
We take no nonsense, take no fuss
Everyone must vote for us
If you don't, you can be sure
You'll soon be stuck in deep manure
If not in plaster, or in traction
Resulting from our rolling action.

The way we work is very plain
YOU keep us on the gravy train
While WE, you can be sure, will see
That we ensure delivery.
Some will get expensive cars
Others fancy fine cigars
There's this to some, and that, to others
Delivery to all the brothers.

There's some like going overseas
But not alone - TWO tickets, please
And if caught out, well, hip, hooray!
No work - suspended, on full pay.
And don't forget, defend yourself
Along with all your purloined wealth
By crying, "'Cause I'm black you see,
It's racism, accusing ME."

So make your buck, but make it quick
For all the while the clock doth tick
Who knows, the voters may get a wake-up
Or Thabo might produce a shake-up.
High office is our only chance
By which we hope we can advance
'Cos if for real work we're looking,
It's back to gardening and cooking.

Hurrah, hurrah, we're ANC
The masters of democracy
Climb aboard the party bus
Or it could be the worse for us
We recognise the things we like
And if we don't, then - take a hike
And be assured, it's NOT mere rumour,
It's fact: We have NO sense of humour.
