Referendum Songbook #10: The Sovereign Will Of The Scottish People (The Panda Song)

This was inspired by a post on Roger White's 'No Thanks' blog, which you can find here: http://mercinon.wordpress.com/2014/08/07/the-sovereign-will-of-the-scottish-people/ . It analysed the repetition of the phrase 'The Sovereign Will of the Scottish People' by Alex Salmond during the recent debate on STV with Alistair Darling.


An end to the biting midge in the Highlands
The eradication of ticks
A Caramel Wafer that makes you lose weight
And every pothole fixed
That’s the Sovereign Will of the Scottish People
Motorway all the way  from Perth to Inverness
Reopen all open air swimming pools
A football team that wins the World Cup
A panda in every school
That’s the Sovereign Will of the Scottish People

The Sovereign Will of the Scottish People
There’s a phrase that rings so pure
Say it in German, say it in Russian
Maybe I’m not so sure
About the Sovereign Will of the Scottish People

Deep fried Mars Bars in every nursery
A cure for asthma found in cigarettes
Cheap flights to the  moon from Prestwick
Winning money every time you bet
On the Sovereign Will of the Scottish People
          
And it shall be so
Because we say it shall be so
And the Bank of England will do as we say
For in truth, they must obey
The Sovereign Will of the Scottish People

And when aliens arrive in their spaceships at Wick
We'll welcome them like superstars
They'll take away all the nuclear submarines
And put them on the planet Mars
For that is the Sovereign Will of the Scottish People

The Sovereign Will of the Scottish People
There’s a phrase that rings so pure
Say it in German, say it in Russian
Maybe I’m not so sure
About the Sovereign Will of the Scottish People
