00:00There was once an old gal named Susan Hall Who'd spent some years down in City Hall
00:11A surprising pick, but selectors had to choose Now she got the chance to try to run for mayor
00:17Had a whiny voice, kinda stringy hair But the main problem was the word she tried
00:21to use Well, she planned it out and started her campaign
00:25But we all had doubts when she took to sayin' That she thought that London sounds a hell
00:30on earth She was spiky as a porcupine, spoke from the
00:34hip Really shut her mind, and she didn't have
00:37a clue What a real-life bus fare is worth
00:40In November time, well, her life got worse Cause she couldn't find her loaded purse
00:44So she blamed the crime on some dark and evil group
00:49But it turned out Sue was just wrong again Cause some friendly good Samaritan
00:53Had turned it in when she dropped it on the tube
00:57She was takin' on a tired-lookin' man Who could talk real quick and whose name was
01:01Kan And he'd already been the mayor twice before
01:06He got some things right and some things wrong And he wasn't weak, but he wasn't strong
01:10But she chose to paint him out like Voldemort You see, London town's got busy streets
01:16There's protests about the Middle East Where innocents face daily blood and strife
01:23And Sue don't help to whip things up But Susan saw a half-empty cup
01:27And she poured the rest like oil onto the fire
01:30If you scroll down Susan's Facebook feed There's far-right crap that you can read
01:36She's anti-green and a trustin' Trump fan too
01:40The election came in early May And low turnout she hoped might sway
01:44Enough folks to vote first past the post for Sue
01:47There's a press leak that Sue might win But she ended standing by the bin
01:53With one last chance to be a diplomat She could've been like Andy Street
01:59But all she did was yell and bleed Like some rancid, bitter, gutter-lickin' cat
02:06Now she's disappeared to some new place Where she can spread her fears and impart
02:10her grace Probably shoutin' and screamin' and tweetin'
02:12till she's blue It's a sad outcome unless you said he'd kind
02:17Who ain't Batman, but he has returned Cause the city wouldn't have that mayor named
