Bullring's view of the elections: The mayoral song

Now that the council elections have come and gone and the Barcy Bugle has called time on letters from the patriots, only the song of the mayor remains to be sung.

While Roy the Boy continues with his convelesence after throwing some Disneys (see here) he asked The Bullringer to get a composition at least the equal of his magnificent composition.

Who else but Peter Paul and Mary would you go to for a nice melody. Not good enough of course to match the brilliance of Roy the Boy from Yalleroi, so will no doubt be on the cutting room floor when the forthcoming and eagerly awaited CD forthcomes.

Of course this doesn't mean it can't feature at the karoake at the Globe, and who knows, Roy the Boy may even give a rendition shortly...


Peep the Western Bookie

Peep the western bookie, campaigned with glee
And polished up his people skills, to be mayor of Gali-Lee
Little Chubby Randler loathed that rascal Peep
And hoped the folks wouldn't follow him by voting just like sheep, Oh

Chorus:
Peep the magic bookie, campaigned with glee
And polished up his people skills, to be mayor of Gali - Lee
Peep the magic bookie, campaigned with glee
And polished up his people skills, for the local bourgeoi - sie

To Alpha they would travel on the campaign trail
Chubby fell a bit behind by Peep's budget surpless tale
Barcy blokes and sheilas knew not which way to go
Chubby's bucks didn't come to much, while Peep had all the dough Oh

(Chorus)

A township goes forever but not so every mayor
Macca sounds like other towns with just the one to share
One March night it happened, Chubby Randler topped the score
And Peep the western bookie, was beat by forty votes or more.

His head though bent in sorrow, he knew who to blame
It wasn't Chubby Randler, though he'd like to all the same
But Slick Mewls from Alpha, he cursed upon his tote,
"He done me in the buggar, 'cause he split the bloody vote!" Oh

(Chorus, sadly)

Peep the western bookie campaigned with glee,
And polished up his people skills, to be mayor of Gali-Lee
Peep the western bookie campaigned with glee,
And polished up his people skills, for the local bourgeoi-sie
