Exit Brexit is written in the Chas & Dave "Mockney" style, will help persuade Brexiteers in regret and weary Remainers that Brexit is a "Dogs Dinner". Here's the chorus line. Imagine "Margate" by Chas & Dave sung in an East End pub with punters soaked in Watneys' Red Barrel and cockles ...
Songwriter Peter Cook said of "Exit Brexit":
"I note with disappointment that the man / woman reading The Sun / Mail / Express in my local cafe are unmoved by the clever arguments of academics, thought leaders and celebs who want to Remain. A quick read of these papers is a good education of how these people think. As someone who is both a clever bastard and whose soul was saved by Rock'n'Roll, I believe we must reach out to these communities using language and methods they understand and engage with. They were mis-sold Brexit, are demonstrating "buyers remorse" but don't believe that Brexit can or should be halted due to the "will of the people" mantra. Our song makes the fact that Brexit can be stopped using the medium of clever pop music which bites. Would you Adam and Eve it?"
We will be approaching Danny Dyer (Eastenders) and John Altman (Nick Cotton) to give the song that ring of Bow Bells. Check your mince pies and see what's on offer ... via www.gofundme.com/exitbrexit
lyrics
INTRO
Brexshit, Brexit, Brexshit, Brexit, Ave a banana
VERSE 1
Well I've been goin' down the Brexit food bank for a while
While Jacob Rees-Mogg ‘ee’s dining out in style
The Banks are leaving Blighty and Dad’s Army’s on the streets
Whilst us poor buggers stay to fight on Brexit plates of meat
CHANT
Eggs and Gammon, No Smoked Salmon, Traffic jammin’, Bloody Spammin’
CHORUS
I'm really sick of Brexit, Why don't you fade away, I wanna find the exit, Please 'elp me Mrs May
VERSE 2
Well I’ve bin’ tryin’ to score some drugs for my dia-betes
But I still can’t buy no bog roll for me Brexit faeces
And I can’t afford a crib in Maracheeses (fake Spanish town)
I might as well end it all in Bognor Regis
CHANTS
Diabetes, Mega faeces, Runny cheeses, Big diseases
Russian geezers, in “Bognor Reges”, Lemon squeezers, Trump appeasers
CHORUS
I'm really sick of Brexit, Why don't you fade away, I wanna find the exit, Please 'elp me Mrs May
VERSE 3
My wife’s avin’ a midlife Brexistential crisis
While me bruvver says I’ve joined Remainiac Isis
In football speak, Brexit was a quarter finalist
Theresa may need to see a Brexit psychiatrist
CHANTS
Customs Union, Big delusion, Is Arlene Foster even ‘uman?
Barclays Bank, J. Arthur Rank, Aaron Banks, Sherman Tank
Soviet Union, Trump communion, Is this love or Brexit confusion?
CHORUS
I'm really sick of Brexit, Why don't you fade away, I wanna find the exit, Please 'elp me Mrs May
