THE WORLD OF TRUSST WORTHY (?)

THE WORLD OF TRUSST WORTHY (?)

In a recent Guardian article, reference was made to the fact that Liz Truss was in the process of negotiating a trade deal with the USA.

In this piece, special reference was made to the need to reduce tariffs on such invaluable items as pork pies and shower trays – now there’s a combination you don’t hear every day!

However, the Department for International Trade estimates that, even with a comprehensive trade deal with the United States, our economy would be at most only 0.16% larger by the middle of the next decade.

So here is my tribute to the indomitable Ms Trusst to the tune of  

“She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain When She Comes”

It’s a trade deal with the Yanks that Ms Trusst wants,

It’s a trade deal with the Yanks that Ms Trusst wants,

But no matter what she tries,

We all know where the power lies

And one thing that’s for sure it’s not with us.

Chorus

Ay ay yippee Truss her up,

Ay ay yippee Truss her up,

Singing ay ay yippee,

Ay ay yippee,

Ay ay yippee Truss her up.

Oh, let’s hope it’s not too high a bill,

Oh let’s hope it’s not too high a bill,

Cos you know with Trump it’s ‘my way’,

Or else you’re for the highway,

Let’s hope it’s not too high a bill.

(Chorus…….)

But the yanks love our meaty porky pies,

Yes the Yanks love our meaty porky pies,

No it’s not the way I tell ‘em,

It’s the way she goanna sell ‘em,

The Yanks love our meaty porky pies.

(Chorus…….)

She’ll be telling ‘em to buy our shower trays,

She’ll be telling ‘em to buy our shower trays,

They’re long lasting and forever,

And light as a feather,

She’ll be telling ‘em to buy our shower trays.

 (Chorus…..)

To clinch the deal she’ll sell the NHS,

To clinch the deal she’ll sell the NHS,

It’ll be a real trend setter,

Cos private’s so much better,

To clinch the deal she’ll sell the NHS.

(Chorus……)

THE END
