about

They said, were he to be elected, Corbyn would have burned the country to the ground - so Boris was voted in instead.

This is not a song about Jeremy Corbyn - it's about what happens to the 'wrong type' who think they can aspire to power.

It's a song inspired by the mad, fear mongering headlines that seem bent on reporting fiction in place of the other side of the argument.
He's going to abolish football.
He's going to sack the army.
He would love it if an asteroid destroyed the human race.
Of all the headlines I've got into the song I'm sad to say I didn't manage to get in the one about 'Corbyn sex dwarf eaten by otters' - pity.

lyrics

Jeremy Corbyn couldn't give a hoot if the world ends today
You see he's trying to annihilate us all anyway
His brand of left wing politics is attracting comets down from outer space
And summoning an alien super race
Who will devour all our babies

Oh woe! oh no! It's Jeremy Corbyn
Nothing bad ever happened before him
I stepped on a piece of Lego this morning
It's Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy's fault

Jeremy Corbyn doesn't like a war he'd rather we be over run
He's going to make the army take up macrame instead of guns
He once met a man who knew a man who'd seen a photograph
Of a terrorist on the news one day
And he consorts with radicals
Who want the NHS to stay

Oh woe! Oh no! It's Jeremy Corbyn
Nothing bad ever happened before him
Lidl ran out of croissants this morning
It's Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy's fault
It's Jeremy, Jeremy Corbyn's fault
