Fraternal greeetings comrade. That brought back memories of heroic women tractor drivers mowing down recividist kulaks. Those were the days.
The working class
Can kiss my arse
I’ve got the foreman’s job at last
I’m out of work
And on the dole
You can stuff the Red Flag
Up your hole.
‘t Was on a Gibraltar’s rock, so fair
I saw a maiden lying there
And as she lay in sweet repose
A puff of wind blew up her clothes
A sailor who was passing by
Tipped his hat and winked his eye
And then he saw to his despair
She had the Red Flag flying there
As I translate it…
Awwwww. I used to sing that when I was a wee little Angua, back in the late 1970s. Then I turned 8.
