maggie mambo
Well come on now people dance today
Dance like you're dancing on Maggie's grave
Well forget what you just think you heard me say
We can keep it grooving in a peaceful way
So come on now people move those feet
Bust out those grooves right here in this street
We can keep this song going on for hours
To remind ourselves that the streets are ours
We're gonna move our feet .. to the beat
And it'll feel so sweet .. til we draw the heat
Well someone's gotta set these streets alight
It's a public path and it's our right
If the police come on peaceful it'll be alright
Let's see if we can do it without a fight
But our public services are being privatised
NHS is being sold off right before our eyes
What's in museums and galleries becomes fossilised
If culture is cut off from the street
If there's a tube strike .. i can ride my bike
Let's bring the picket lines .. back to these times
And to help the strikers feel proud
We can play this song out loud
Cos we support the wildcats over the fat cats
Cos the fat cats need to diet anyway
So get your arse over to Putney Common
Before it becomes Putney Private Property
And sow some strawberry seeds in Central Park
But be careful not to let a copper see
And like those students in Tiananmen Square
We'll show our government that we're not scared
And like boy scouts we'll be prepared
To redistribute wealth and protect what's shared
General strike - let's have a general strike
Mr General - get on your bike
If you're lucky - you could hitch hike
Click "like" - for the right to strike
Don't eat Coke
Don't drink Nike
Dance like you're dancing on Maggie's grave
Well forget what you just think you heard me say
We can keep it grooving in a peaceful way
So come on now people move those feet
Bust out those grooves right here in this street
We can keep this song going on for hours
To remind ourselves that the streets are ours
We're gonna move our feet .. to the beat
And it'll feel so sweet .. til we draw the heat
Well someone's gotta set these streets alight
It's a public path and it's our right
