We’ll do the hokey-pokey
when we’ve built our lovely wall.
We’ll build it broad and bigly
and very, very tall.
 
 
We’ll keep the best people in
and all the others out.
 
We’ll put our hands on our ears
so we cannot hear them shout
 
if you’re poor or you’re coloured
you’re a parasitic lout.

 
 
And if you’re here already,
you can turn yourselves around,
‘cause you lot are Outward Bound.
 
(clap,clap)
