Walking in a Pickles wonderland

 

Earlier today I had the joy of attending one of the twins school Winterval performance.  I knew my  little Eric had written his own song and had been practicing hard for the last couple of weeks but I had no idea what he was going to do.  So when he appeared on stage in the school hall and sang like an angel it brought tears to many eyes. I was the proudest Dad in the hall and now I cannot wait to see what his twin sister Erica does next week.

I would loved to have recorded the performance and share it here but due to an exclusive deal with SyCo Music  I am unable to. Simon Cowell has kindly allowed me to share the lyrics though.  Could this be this year’s surprise Christmas Number One?

Why not click on the YouTube link at the bottom of this post, gather around the PC, turn up the volume and have a good old office since along..

  

Walking in a Pickles wonderland

Councils are you listening?

Your assets are glistening.

What a beautiful sight,

And a value that's right

For walking in a Pickles wonderland.

Time to sell, it's the hour

Since we reduced your 'Revenue Spending Power'.

You've held them too long,

They're going for a song.

Did you know that Hampshire owns some farmland?

The council owns the home of Swindon Town!

Selling off the golf courses across Leeds,

Should help to keep the council tax right down.

What you sell is your decision,

That's the joy of Localism.

Walking along,

Singing a song.

Have you met this friend of mine from Serco?

He could do a quote for you right now.

Outsourcing services is the future.

And he is the man to show you how.

Cut the power and the heating.

Earmarked reserves are depleting.

Reduce straight-away

Executive pay.
