Ive got a list of people who we could do without
They cause more trouble than they're worth
There clearly is no doubt
The bureaucrats in Whitehall and the ones in City Hall,
Who lack imagination yet who have the cheek and gall
To cut back all the funding then complain when standards fall
Ive got them on the list
They never would be missed
The people who design those endless forms that we
Must use to claim the benefits from the bureaucracy
And are written in such jargon that they're Greek to you and me
The IEP, the DS8 the NI53
I've got them on the list
They never would be missed
The local politicians and the ones in Parliament
Who set up sub-committees to produce a document
They ignore all adverse comments and will not represent
The views and the statistics that oppose their argument.
Ive got them on the list etc
The doctor who has not been trained in counselling
techniques
Who shows insenstivity who's thoughtless when he speaks
And breaks the news so badly you're upset for weeks and weeks
Ive got him etc
Educational psychologists and experts of that kind
Are fond of making judgements on the workings of the mind
But half of it is guesswork-I think I'm more inclined
to think they tend to speculate, leave common sense behind
I,ve got them...
..
Then there's the social worker who has come straight out of college,
Who thinks because she's read the books she's got the skilll and knowledge
To criticise your attitudes and fault the way you cope
When up to now you've managed well,she makes you feel a dope
Ive got her one the list etc
