The Social Democrat's Song

We'll love to tell you what to do, after the coup!

Up till that time we shan't give a clue.

Listing all of society's ills:

That's how we get our political thrills.

We'll surely tell you what to do, after you vote.

Mostly our interest is what we'll promote.

Squeezing the middle class to funnel their wealth,

the most for the Social Democrat's health.

We'll gather up whatever you haven't yet paid,

By hook or by crook, as it takes to persuade.

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

We're going to take things away from you

on behalf of the common good.

O gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

Someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie

so that someone else can have more. More?

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

Let's spread your wealth around a bit, that's what we say;

Spreading your wealth, we've found, pays us today.

More for the common good is less for each man.

More for our government's most Socialist plan!

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.

From each according to his abilities

To each according to his needs.

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme.
