This was in reply to a somewhat common view, that foreigners are 'stealing' our jobs. Question is would we accept them if they were available?
I look at the bus driver and frown,
I look at the bus driver and frown,
And I look at the foreign cleaners and i frown, look down
Cus I don’t want to scrub floors, polish doors, drive a bus, or work in a corner shop down town.
I will eat at an indian while served by one with a bindi,
And i will have a chinese, and joke about saw finger,
But god forbid that these chinese, japanese, mexican and Puerto rican,
should mix with us Caucasians,
we are a pure race, of tea drinkers and crumpet eaters, and will not have our purity tarnished.
And I don’t want to scrub floors, polish doors, drive a bus, or work in a corner shop down town, cus those jobs are not crowned with respect or good reputation.
Pack up your curries in your old kit bag
and fuck of back to india,
And pack up your luggage and bugger off to Poland, greenland, finland, or ireland.
I look at the empty bus and frown,
And I look at the dirty floors and i frown, look down
But I still don’t want to scrub floors, polish doors, drive a bus, or work in a corner shop down town.
