A celebrity's duty to be done
When a Celebrity's not engaged in her employment
Or maturing her ambitious little plan
Her capacity for innocent enjoyment
Is just as great as any honest man
Our feelings we with difficulty smother
When parliamentary duties to be done
Taking one consideration with another
A politician's lot is not a happy one
When parliamentary duties to be done, to be done
A politician's lot is not a happy one
When the enterprising Bürger's not a- Bürgering
Then she's entitled to be covered all in slime
She loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling
And listen to her fellow victims whine
When the hustler's finished jumping on her mother
She loves to lie a-basking in the sun
Taking one consideration with another
A politician's lot is not a happy one
When parliamentary duties to be done, to be done
A politician's lot is not a happy one
When the drunkard shows no sign of where her drink went
She nobly bids all alchohol farewell
When the juvenile delinquent to the clink went
She hung her mother's picture in her cell
When the cardshark's finished wiping out her brother
She buys a rattle for his little son
Taking one consideration with another
A politician's lot is not a happy one
When parliamentary duties to be done, to be done
A Celebrity's lot is not a happy one
