It’s coming soon, this sixty quid
That Gordon Brown has promised me
So, thanks to that and a bit less VAT,
We’ll save his bust economy.

It’s not just thee and me you see.
All pensioners have got it
Or at least we will by February
Unless they go and stop it.

It’s spending more than what we’d got
What got us in hot water,
But now we’ve more than we had before
So: “Spend,” he says, “You oughter!”

If we had had it Christmas time
How loud our celebration?
We pensioners might have saved Woolworths
From their administration.

And Gordon, if your idea works,
Once our spending’s eased the tension,
Could we have another sixty quid
Added to our pension?

Then we’d boost the retail sector,
Break the bankers’ apathy.
We’d drink the health of Gordon Brown
And his fiscal homeopathy!
