Chorus:
Vote, vote whoever you may be,
Make good use of democracy,
And I'll love you, whoever you may be,
Just so long as you vot for me.

Election time is here once more,
It's four long years since I've seen your door,
The opposition we must defeat,
For I'd rather lose my head than lose my seat.

Chorus

I'm a man for the people, whoever they are,
So make sure who you're voting for,
You vote for me, I'll work for you,
You needn't work you can stay on the bureau.

Chorus

Well I got your vote and I've won my seat,
Now I'm off to Spain to give myself a treat,
But I'm thinking of you all and a prayer I'll say,
That you'll vote for me again next election day.

Chorus
