1
Can a whiteman sing the blues,
(line of guitar music)
some people always win, while others always lose.
you're walking 'bout in second hand shoes.
Shum people, Shum people are flashing on yer window,
Night and day, Shum people,............................
2
And shum people like to join in,
others just don't care
as long as they're not in your shoes.
They say you've been at the booze.
Shum people, Shum people are shitting on the window,
Night and day, Shum people,............................
3.
Shush, shoosh, shoo shoosh, Shush, shoosh, shoo shoosh
Shum people trying too shoo me away,
Stay calm,.......cool and collected,
But I belong here and here's where I'll stay.
So when the police come I'll just say,
Shum people, Shum people are shitting on the windows,
Night and day, Shum people,............................
Down with cargo work combat pants and
down with the blue/ red, smart phone trousers
covert ops and protection racketeers trousers too
Flashing and trashing
We are the people, who throw the toilet paper.
Who are the flash card projection creatures,
sociopaths who aim their computers at me and you.
snooping and rooking
Down with old Tonys' trousers, {oh dear that was 2005} well some other bastards
Down with bombers too! all of them
The anonymous brown raincoat security men
Who tell lies over their contingency plans.
​
We are the people, who throw the toilet paper.
Who are the creatures who aim their computers at me and you?
Note the inspiration came from Emile Zola’s striking miners, down with the red trousers. the opposite of hooray for the blue trousers. They are so wonderful.
You do understand that I cant have lager louts coming round here, wanting to participate in a de bagging after all I am a convalescent . As to who is big boy and who is the bogey man are we still blaming the whole crap show on the big goblin

(starts in key of d)
1
Why don't you sing to the social security,
they're the only ones who can spare you the dough.
It's a tough old world don't you know,
it's a rough old world don't you know.

When your'e available and yer trying yer best
but they just won't take you on
that's why we sing to the social security
(chorus in Em)
But don't let them make you sing to the police
repeat
3
They're the people who will care for you
and pay you to do f'all.
So why don't we join harmoniously and sing
to the social security, who know us so well.
4
They'll never stop caring for us
with their excellent industrious and charitable concern
They know we'll always be here
that's why we sing to the social security
(chorus in Em)
But don't let them make you sing to the police
repeat
