Fair shares Fair shares for all That's what the PM said No cares Let's have a ball Soon we'll have honey on our bread That Mister Atlee He told us flatly We could look forward to a spread Ever since Hitler Portions are littler Now we don't even have the bloody bread! Fair shares Fair shares for all Britain is standing tall With fair shares Fair shares for all Fair shares Fair shares for all That's all we ever seek If there's Meat on the stall We'll make it stretch into next week It's all the fashion Eke out your ration Pop something tasty in the pot Cash in a coupon I'll put the soup on Boiled bones and cabbage is the best we've got! Fair shares Fair shares for all We're up against the wall With fair shares Fair shares for all Even though Jerry's bombs have started dropping We'll still have to battle for ourselves Everytime that we need to go shopping And find there is nothing on the shelves And of late we've sucummed to this feeling We don't think the system really works While behind closed doors dodgy dealing Guarantees certain people certain perks A little give A little take A pound or two of stewing steak A little wink A little nudge A dozen eggs A bag of fudge FUDGE! Fair shares Fair shares for all Now that the future's bright Who dares Challenge Whitehall?

Fair shares Fair shares for all We're riding for a fall With fair shares Fair shares for all Fair shares for all
