A Government That Does Its Job

Verse

Snow is falling on the high street,

Carols drifting through the air,

But the nation’s feeling grumpy,

’Cause the gov’nment’s unaware.

They promised change by New Year,

They promised hope and joy —

But all we got was paperwork

And queues stretching to Glasgow

Chorus

Oh, Labour government,

Why’s everything delayed?

You wrapped up plans in tinsel

But forgot the lemonade.

We’re trimming trees and waiting,

Still stuck in policy fog…

All I want for Christmas

Is a gov that’s not a slog!

Verse

They said they’d fix the railways,

They said they’d mend the schools,

But every plan they’ve printed

Looks like it was made by elves on stools.

I hung my stocking proudly,

I hoped for something grand —

But Santa left a memo:

“Try again when they’ve a plan.”

Chorus

Oh, Labour government,

We sing this yuletide plea:

Please sort out all the chaos

By the end of ’26.

We’ll toast you with our cocoa,

We’ll cheer you through the smog…

But all we want for Christmas

Is a gov that’s not a slog!

Bridge

Maybe next December

You’ll bring a festive fix,

A dash of common sense,

A miracle or six.

Till then we’ll keep on carolling,

And hoping through the night —

That Christmas future’s brighter

And the budgets come out right!

Chorus

Oh, Labour government,

We’re asking with good cheer:

Let’s make the next year smoother

Than the one we’ve had this year.

So here’s our merry message,

Signed by the British mob:

All we want for Christmas

Is a gov that does its job!
