The voters chose Hollande
and Sarkozy fell, bringing an end
to such austere debt reduction.
Frau Merkel’s delighted Frank is at the helm
because the plan that Hollande’s got
she can believe in:-

No more underinvestment and recessionary woe.
Monsieur Hollande is here!
Monsieur Hollande knows how
to assuage all the markets and get Europe to grow...
with directives and rules,
and more teachers in schools.

And if his plan should falter,
I’ll claim it’s all
Sarkozy’s fault.
Sarkozy’s fault.
Sarkozy’s fault.

My tent is pitched outside every global summit meeting
on the bailouts, and the climate, and the Euro.
While making sure the leaders hear the bongo drums I’m beating,
I keep warm with my Starbucks cappuccino.

All Europe’s politicians... don’t-know-what-to-do.
And bruxelloise technicians... don’t-know-what-to-do.
Raw capitalism... don’t-know-what-to-do.

But there is one Gallic hero who’s so clever and brave,
François Hollande makes the problems go away!

So voters chose Hollande
and Sarkozy fell, bringing an end
to such austere debt reduction.
Frau Merkel’s delighted Frank is at the helm,
because the plan that Hollande’s got
we can believe in.

No more underinvestment and recessionary woe
Monsieur Hollande is here!
Monsieur Hollande knows how
to convince the nice Germans with a fresh quid pro quo:-
First a new fiscal pact,
then the debts get paid back.

And where will I pin blame when
they don’t agree?
On Merkozy.
On Merkozy.

On Merkozy.
