Welcome to the royal cash grab
Want a sandwich
or a coronation kebab?
We will throw in a meal deal as well.
Have some specially made doughnuts,
flavoured with earl grey tea,
and some cakes labelled with royalty.
A mug with Charles glum mug
painted on, so you can chug
your drinks and think of the king,
celebratory biscuits to dunk,
if that is more your sort of thing.
It's a royal bonanza,
every shop selling the same old tat
with a picture of some posh twat
in a shiny new hat.
Come on buy into the hype.
We have some specials you may like.
Everywhere you look bunting going up.
Pledge allegiance to your king,
kiss his ring, let your voices sing.
that will make the cash registers go kerching!
We want your money.
Let's cut the bullshit
this is just a cash grab
any way you look at it.
Now get in the queue,
It's what you good people do.
Now don't forget
to bow down to us
highly privileged few.
Now we know times are hard,
but hey!
you can buy it all on credit card.
Pay it off with a life of servitude,
as the corrupt view you
from their palaces of plenitude.
What's with the attitudes?
You should show some gratitude.
We give you some fireworks
to make your skies glow.
What more do you want?
Its all a dog and pony show.
