Matters arising in this meeting To whom it may concern A story to tell ever so fleeting Something we maybe could learn. An African tribe is dying of thirst The Tiger has numbers so few Not for a minute have we seen the worst Is there something that we all can do? I will swear my alleigance to the African tribe! The Tigers will get my support! A few politicians I know I can bribe Donations can always be sought The Whales are hurting we must put it right And monkeys in deepest Peru? The Amazon forest will go overnight Oh! we must stop that happening to. Let's hold a huge party my friends they will come We can make it a massive crusade Our riches and fame we will pool all as one Together we'll call it Fame-Aid We can raise all our profiles a wonderful thing Have pictures of us with our friends Showing the work our money can bring The potential for this never ends But, one moment folks of the jettest of sets This meeting is far from yet over None of you seem to be edging your bets This side of the White Cliffs of Dover The homeless in boxes on cold winter corners The youngsters with holes in their shoes The funeral of parents with children their mourners Not worthy of such headline news. No glamour in alleys with discarded needles No purchase from something so seedy No man of the moment or man of the people To rescue the plight of such needy So one resolution I must put across To you all with the ear of the press The needy are hurting with similar loss Though seldom as glamorously dressed. |
