Fair shares
Fair shares for all
That's what the PM said
No cares
Let's have a ball
Soon we'll have honey on our bread
That Mister Atlee
He told us flatly
We could look forward to a spread
Ever since Hitler
Portions are littler
Now we don't even have the bloody bread!
Fair shares
Fair shares for all
Britain is standing tall
With fair shares
Fair shares for all
Fair shares
Fair shares for all
That's all we ever seek
If there's
Meat on the stall
We'll make it stretch into next week
It's all the fashion
Eke out your ration
Pop something tasty in the pot
Cash in a coupon
I'll put the soup on
Boiled bones and cabbage is the best we've got!
Fair shares
Fair shares for all
We're up against the wall
With fair shares
Fair shares for all
Even though Jerry's bombs have started dropping
We'll still have to battle for ourselves
Everytime that we need to go shopping
And find there is nothing on the shelves
And of late we've sucummed to this feeling
We don't think the system really works
While behind closed doors dodgy dealing
Guarantees certain people certain perks
A little give
A little take
A pound or two of stewing steak
A little wink
A little nudge
A dozen eggs
A bag of fudge
FUDGE!
Fair shares
Fair shares for all
Now that the future's bright
Who dares
Challenge Whitehall?
Our politician must be right
Wartime is over
Those cliffs of Dover
Seem even whiter there's no doubt
But there are few words
About the bluebirds
That they made such a song and dance about!
Fair shares
Fair shares for all
We're riding for a fall
With fair shares
Fair shares for all
Fair shares for all
