Labour are red Tories are blue Both need the Liberals Their votes were too few We want, we all said A hung parliament coup Carelessly wished for Now all coming true There's economic dread So what shall we do We can't decide which we like Yellow, red or blue  Campaigning not bed A decision to rue More sleep is postponed So Clegg they can woo The rivals must wed A coalition stew Strong stable unity Or chimps in a zoo? Some policies now dead  Others they'll pursue The only thing certain Is that cuts are in view So raise up your head And herald the new And if someone's in charge Please tell me who.

Thoughts on the UK general election 2010
Labour are red Tories are blue Both need the Liberals Their votes were too few We want, we all said A hung parliament coup Carelessly wished for Now all coming true There's economic dread So what shall we do We can't decide which we like Yellow, red or blue  Campaigning not bed A decision to rue More sleep is postponed So Clegg they can woo The rivals must wed A coalition stew Strong stable unity Or chimps in a zoo? Some policies now dead  Others they'll pursue The only thing certain Is that cuts are in view So raise up your head And herald the new And if someone's in charge Please tell me who.
Written the night after the 6 May 2010 general election in the UK before it was clear which parties would unite to form a government.
