[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
I spent C6 hours watching TV
FAntiques and Jeremy
Till C4 in the afternoonG  
When my Cmother came in
Said "it's Fwearing pretty thin,
Son you Cbetter get a Gfucking job Csoon"
And I weCnt on to the internet
To Fsee what jobs I could get
CJust to keep my mother satisfiGed
But with Cmy degree in aviation
For Fevery single occupation
CI felt somewhat Gover qualiCfied
CThen I saw in the corner of the screen
FSomeone had sent a message to me
CThey put certain characters in Gbold
CI cried tears as I read
Every sinFgle word they said
CAll of my Gproblems were Csolved
[Chorus]
I said F"don't worry mother
Cos CI got this email
From that Gprince of some country Amsomewhere
He said his Fplan could never fail
I'll Cgive him all my bank details
And he'll Gmake me a milliConaire"
[Verse 2]
Next Cmorning I was so excited
I Fpissed myself didn't try to hide it
I had Cpound signs gleaming in my Geyes
But I Cwent on down to Savile Row
To Fbuy myself a suit of gold
But they Conly had Gsilver in my Csize
I thought wChat should I do with all this money
   FOh lord wouldn't it be funny
If I Cbought myself a brand new lGimousine
So CI went down to the limousine shop
FAsked the salesman "what you got?"
He just Cstood there Gstaring back at Cme
He said "CI'm sorry sir we're closing down
FNo one can afford limousines in this town
I'm Cbroke I'm bankrupt I'll have to sell my Gkids"
I said "Cdon't sell your children
I Fthink I can save them
CCome and Gtake a look at Cthis"
[Chorus]
I said "don't Fworry Mr salesman
Cos CI got this email
From that pGrince of some country someAmwhere
He said his Fplan could never fail
I'll Cgive him all my bank details
And he'll Gmake us both millionaiCres"
[Bridge]
CWell me and the limousine salesman were whistling Dixie at this point
Talking about our suits of solid goldC  
[Verse 3]
And Csuddenly out of the blue
We Fsaw ourselves a hippie or two
And Cthey were protesting about the Gwar
We fCollowed them down to Number 10
TrafFalgar Square then back again
And Cthen we started bGanging at the Cdoor
We said C"come on David speak to us
We're Ftired and we're pissed off
SoCme of us are moving to GFrance
And Cfinally he showed his face
And Fafter him in second place
Came CNick Clegg on his GGame-boy CAdvance
[Bridge]
I said "Chow you doing Nick? What level you on?"
He said "level C5"
I said "what game you playing NiCck?
He said "TetrCis"
N.C.
I said "level 5s pretty easy to get to on Tetris Nick"
[Verse 4]
And Cthen from the crowd
FThere came a shout
And Ceverybody turned to Glook
And in the Cmiddle of the humdrum
Was FDavid Cameron's mum
CStanding there Gshaking her Chook
[Bridge]
She said G"David what you doing?
The cGountry's in meltdown
I'm Gbuying all my knickers from GPrimark
The Ampeople are rioting
The Emhigh streets are empty
The Fcountry is going to Gshit"
[Chorus]
And David said F"don't worry mother
Cos CI got this email
From that Gprince of some country someAmwhere
He said his Fplan could never fail
I'll Cgive him all our bank details
And he'll Gmake us all millionCaires"

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I spent 6 hours watching TV

Antiques and Jeremy

C G

Till 4 in the afternoon

When my mother came in

Said "it's wearing pretty thin,

C G C

Son you better get a fucking job soon"

And I went on to the internet

To see what jobs I could get

C G

Just to keep my mother satisfied

But with my degree in aviation

For every single occupation

C G C

I felt somewhat over qualified

Then I saw in the corner of the screen

Someone had sent a message to me

C G

They put certain characters in bold

I cried tears as I read

Every single word they said

C G C

All of my problems were solved

[Chorus]

I said "don't worry mother

Cos I got this email

G Am

From that prince of some country somewhere

He said his plan could never fail

I'll give him all my bank details

G C

And he'll make me a millionaire"

[Verse 2]

Next morning I was so excited

I pissed myself didn't try to hide it

C G

I had pound signs gleaming in my eyes

But I went on down to Savile Row

To buy myself a suit of gold

C G C

But they only had silver in my size

I thought what should I do with all this money

Oh lord wouldn't it be funny

C G

If I bought myself a brand new limousine

So I went down to the limousine shop

Asked the salesman "what you got?"

C G C

He just stood there staring back at me

He said "I'm sorry sir we're closing down

No one can afford limousines in this town

C G

I'm broke I'm bankrupt I'll have to sell my kids"

I said "don't sell your children

I think I can save them

C G C

Come and take a look at this"

[Chorus]

I said "don't worry Mr salesman

Cos I got this email

G Am

From that prince of some country somewhere

He said his plan could never fail

I'll give him all my bank details

G C

And he'll make us both millionaires"

[Bridge]

Well me and the limousine salesman were whistling Dixie at this point

Talking about our suits of solid gold

[Verse 3]

And suddenly out of the blue

We saw ourselves a hippie or two

C G

And they were protesting about the war

We followed them down to Number 10

Trafalgar Square then back again

C G C

And then we started banging at the door

We said "come on David speak to us

We're tired and we're pissed off

C G

Some of us are moving to France

And finally he showed his face

And after him in second place

C G C

Came Nick Clegg on his Game-boy Advance

[Bridge]

I said "how you doing Nick? What level you on?"

He said "level 5"

I said "what game you playing Nick?

He said "Tetris"

N.C.

I said "level 5s pretty easy to get to on Tetris Nick"

[Verse 4]

And then from the crowd

There came a shout

C G

And everybody turned to look

And in the middle of the humdrum

Was David Cameron's mum

C G C

Standing there shaking her hook

[Bridge]

She said "David what you doing?

The country's in meltdown

G G

I'm buying all my knickers from Primark

The people are rioting

The high streets are empty

F G

The country is going to shit"

[Chorus]

And David said "don't worry mother

Cos I got this email

G Am

From that prince of some country somewhere

He said his plan could never fail

I'll give him all our bank details

G C

And he'll make us all millionaires"
