Political Promises
It Takes A Politician To Promise
Airports Where There Are No Roads
Ships Where There Are No Harbours
For Making Promises Is An Art
And The Politician Was Created On The 8th Day
It Takes A Politician To Add Eight Plus Eight
To Come Up With Sixty Four Or Nought
And If The Kickback Is Right , Any Variables Of These
Blame Inflation And Energy Cost And Taxes
Campaign War Chests Don’t Come Cheap
It Takes A Politician To Lie With A Straight Face
Or Talk With A Crooked Face When He Is Honest
To Throw A Mighty Tantrum And Woo Voters
Or Speak Softly With False Humility And Modesty
For The Devil Has His Heart For 30 Pence
