lyrics

Lion or Liar?

A boy born Tony ran Albion ably, not nobly.
On Blair I rant a bit:
a tiny brain, a brat, a nit!
I, a bony yob, I rib a lot.
I riot in a torn bra! Blair on trial, no bail!
Tony on an oil trail.
Tony in a bar on a Libyan train.
A bro to an oil baron?
O Tony, no!
Toil not to nail Iran, toil not.
O try to tan on a briny boat to Bali, Tony.

Lion or liar?

Blair by air to-o-o Italy
o to bray an alto latin litany.
Tony a lion or only a liar?
A lion in a lair or a rat in a barn?
Tony a lion or only a liar?
A Tory Blair or a Lib or a Lab?
Tony a lion or only a liar?
I try to iron a Tony yarn.
Tony a lion? Nay, nay, nay!
Lob Tony in a bin!
Lob it in a bin!

Tony a lion or only a liar?
Lion or Liar?
