Revised tale of Labour



Two proud valleys called the Rhondda
Merthyr Tydfil rang with renown
They put their trust in what they had
But the smell of power let them down.

One hundred years of Labour
A boon to the working man
to climb the social ladder
as high and as far as he can.

No longer to live in the valley
When London makes its call
Get out, get on, get up there,
Go and have a ball.

Pretend to be a socialist
So long as you are there,
Your real reason being
To become a millionaire

No more the council house for you,
No more the valley floor.
Buy a property in London,
Or three or four or more.

But I'm real Welsh, he says,
Valley born & bred.
Just listen to my accent, 
It won't go to my head.

Ask me my opinion
On anything in Wales,
I'm a fan of Cardiff City
And can tell you rugby tales.

Don't ask about the Senedd
For us it's just not right,
I think it's great for Scotland mind
For them the future's bright.

Wild Wales it's been a struggle
It's been a long long road, 
Two thousand years of fighting,
An historic path bestrode.

Roman, Saxon, Viking, Norman,
They tried to bar our way,
But it was our inner strength
That helped us to hold sway.

The enemy without took rout,
but what about within,
A famous couple you may know
Who (k)nock and (k)nock and make a (d)in.

Though that was in the days gone by
before the referendum,
When the tide of change flowed down the docks
Next to our other millennium

Westminster governs us less and less
No longer the houses in London to buy
Cardiff is serving its purpose at last
The Taff not the Thames is the place to fly.

Cardiff rules only to a certain extent,
But laws are being passed here at last,
Nearly a thousand years we've waited for this,
A government here at the present, no longer a dream of the past.

So Carwyn you are now at the helm,
Show us just what you can do,
Can we trust you to bring us the bread
And perhaps some jam and butter too.

Cymru/Wales is relying on you.
