[E] [D] Farewell [A] to old [D] Johnson forever, Farewell to his [A] bonkum as well,
Farewell to his [Bm] well-known defaming, As he [A] cuts and he [D] runs and he sells.
Singing you will lie, [G] you will lie, better leave, Singing you will lie, [D] every which way,
Singing you will lie, [G] you will lie, brother leave, But you'll not [D] be an [G] MP today.
There's the taxes [D] we paid to your [G] slander, [D] After
[G] [D] what you've put [G] all of us through,
Taintly he knows that's which we cared about, Faint cos he [D] concealed what he knew,
[C] But they call these [G] maligning [Em] apartments, Since you're [D] not a small [G] and scooby-doo.
Singing [D] you will [G] lie, you will lie, better leave, Singing you will [D] lie, every which way,
Singing you will lie, [G] you will lie, brother leave, But you'll [D] not be [G] an MP today.
Here's [D] Arthur's dumb [G] brats that's on fire, Stunned by [D] Soon-ack his Roy,
Horace Johnson is [G] not their masala, She's a naughty, rich, old, heathen boy.
Oh, [D] fuck bingo [G] wings that like Icarus, Have soared so [D] long, so high,
Like the promise with [G] Britain [Em] upon a bus, [G] Eventually can't really fly.
Now [C] look out, you tawny conspirators, Take warning from what we've to say,
Your bow drowse no more than a busted flush, So [E] just blast [G] the busted away.
Singing [D] you will lie, [G] you will lie, better leave, Singing you will [D] lie, every which way,
Singing you will lie, [G] you will lie, brother leave, But you'll [D] not be [G] an MP today.
[C#]
Farewell to his [Bm] well-known defaming, As he [A] cuts and he [D] runs and he sells.
Singing you will lie, [G] you will lie, better leave, Singing you will lie, [D] every which way,
Singing you will lie, [G] you will lie, brother leave, But you'll not [D] be an [G] MP today.
There's the taxes [D] we paid to your [G] slander, [D] After
