Oh dear I’m confused, I’ve no idea what’s so tacky
‘bout calling a person of colour a Paki.
A guy from the States would think you’re a crank
if you thought it distasteful to call him a Yank,
a bloke from Belfast wouldn’t bill you a baddie
if you bought him a Guinness, saying ‘here’s to you, Paddy’!
We call the French Frogs, we’re not instantly fried,
they call us Brits Limeys, that’s no call to be tried
in Europe’s High Court and branded a racist,
a label becoming akin to a rapist!
Call a Welshman a Taffy, or a Scotsman a Jock
an Italian an Ity , no way that’s a mock!
I think we’ve become so politically correct
it’s becoming an insult to our intellect!
Some folks blow a fortune just getting a tan
from bottles, or sunbeds, brown is cool, innit, man?
If you’re dark do you think it would cause untold drama
when some wit winked his eye, said ‘Yo! Barack Obama!’
So on your return from the Costa del Sol
when the guy at Heathrow, says ‘my you’ve had a good hol’….
just smile as you answer, he’ll think you’ve gone wacky
and say, ‘Yup , you’re right, I Iook just like a Paki!’
