lyrics

Hey Dad, how are you?
Yes it's really nice to see you too
I see you've got a new patio out here
What do I think?
Well I think it's a patio
I mean it's very hard to have an opinion on patio Dad
It's very flat
And you stand on it

Anyway
It's been ages Dad
Well we've been touring mostly
I guess they just didn't want the show here in Reading Dad
Well the Reading Hexagon's a little hard for us to fill, it's over twelve hundred seats so
Yes Jim Davidson does sell a lot more tickets than us Dad but I don't personally think that makes him better than us but you're entitled to your opinion Dad

Hey Dad, how are you?
Yes it's really nice to see you too
Dad we've been over this
If you use something from The Daily Mail in an argument with me you've got to fact-check it first
No you can't just double-check it in the Mail Online
Nevermind

Anyway
I see you've got a UKIP poster in the window
Is that what you're going to...?
Right
Yes I agree Dad, they do have a lot of ideas
Doesn't it bother you that quite a lot of those ideas are quite ra-
Yes that is what I was gonna say Dad
No it's not racist of me to say that UKIP are racist
Because they're not a race
And because they're quite racist
I know you're not a racist Dad
I know you've got a black friend called Patrick
I know because you always say
"I'm gonna go and see my black friend Patrick"
You could just say you're gonna see Patrick Dad

How did we get to here?
Cos you brought me up better than this
You taught me how to tie my laces
You taught me how to not kill my hamster
you taught me how to crack an egg
You taught me how to make a frittata
So how did we get here?
Cos I don't want to believe you could ever let me down

Hey Dad, how are you?
Yes it's really nice to see you too
No I am saying it right Dad - Farage
Farage Farage Farage Farage Farage Farage
Well if he wanted a French name he had to stay in the EU
And that's over Dad
Oh don't be ridiculous
How on earth is Farage a better man than me?
We did one song about the Royal Family and it was a satire

Little Prince George is funny looking
And neither of his parents are very bright (not they're not)
He wouldn't do so well in a meritocratic society
But don't worry we don't have one

No I don't think we'll be hanged for that Dad

Anyway
Could you just maybe not vote that way?
I dunno Dad, maybe go along and spoil your vote?
No, with a pen

How did we get to here?
Cos you brought me up better than this
You taught how to build a fire
You taught me how to strike the matches
You taught me how to put out a fire
We agreed we wouldn't tell Mum
So how did we get here?
Cos I don't want to believe you could ever let me down
