Calypso strumming pattern: [Down, Down Up, Up Down Up] [Down, Down Up, Up Down Up]

A great fun tune to play and sing along too, so enjoy!
ATaxpayers’ money where does it go, Not even George EOsborne knows,
when we're in power and we engage, E7there will be no tax on the Aminimum wage.
ALeaders committed a cardinal sin, open the borders Elet them all come in,
illegal immigrants in every town, E7stand up and be counted ABlair and Brown.
Chorus:
AOh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister Eis Farage,
we can trade with the world again, E7when Nigel is at ANo. 10.
AThe British people have been let down, that’s why Ukip is Emaking ground,
from Crewe to Cleethorpes, to outer Hendon, E7they don't believe Cameron's Areferendum.
ACoalition could be a fact, with any party we could Emake a pact,
stop telling lies about us to, E7and we’ll stop telling the Atruth about you.
Chorus:
AOh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister Eis Farage,
we can trade with the world again, E7when Nigel is at ANo. 10.

to Jean-Cleade Juncker we’re giving away, E755 million Aevery day.
AOh what a farce he won the vote, this is my favourite JEuncker quote,
he looked a reporter straight in the eye and said, “E7when things get serious it's tAime
Chorus:
AOh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister Eis Farage,
we can trade with the world again, E7when Nigel is at ANo. 10.
AThe EU live in wonderland, tried to ban bent Ebananas and British jam,
we don't want jam the EU way, E7jam yesterday tomorrow but Anever today
AThe daily polls suggest somehow, UKIP are the third Eparty now,
in the euro elections we were so immersed, E7we weren't the third party we Awere the first
Chorus:
AOh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister Eis Farage,
we can trade with the world again, E7when Nigel is at ANo. 10.
AWith the government sitting on the fence, Ukip policy Emakes more sense,
to get out of Europe is our target, E7Commonwealth not Acommon market.
AOther parties please take note, Ukip is not a Eprotest vote,
Eso mark your cross and by word of mouth, E7tell them what to do in AThanet South.
Chorus:
AOh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister Eis Farage,
we can trade with the world again, E7when Nigel is at ANo. 10.
AWith the EU we must be on our mettle, want to change our lawnEmowers and our kettles,
our hairdryers, smart phones and vacuum cleaners, E7but Ukip is wise to their Amisdemeanours.
AFarage he likes his fags and beer, but there's one thing EI want to get clear,
E7but he appears more than Dimbleby on AQuestion Time.
Chorus:
AOh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister Eis Farage,
we can trade with the world again, E7when Nigel is at ANo. 10.
AThe other parties will count the cost, in Eastleigh, Thanet, EThurrock and Boston,
Labour and Tories shaking in their boots, E7when Ukip kick them up the gArass roots.
AMeanwhile down at Clacton-on-Sea, Ukip are making Ehistory,
Douglas Carswell, we're quite adamant, E7will be the first MP in Aparliament.
Chorus:
AOh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister Eis Farage,
we can trade with the world again, E7when Nigel is at ANo. 10
