Chumbawamba - Kinnochio lyrics

Are you sitting comfortably? Then i'll begin The story of kinnochio The man who ran the other party pondered the size of his nose A man who pleaded for leadership and groveled more than most He scabbed and he lied and he nodded and smiled and he sunk down low Whilst the nose at the foot of his happy face slowly began to grow La la la la la la la la la la la la la Little by little he noticed that his nose's enormous size Was in direct and equal proportion to his political compromise Despite his strenuous efforts to put the world to rights His nose continued to slowly extend as he moved towards the right La la la la la la la la la la la la la Eager for power and groveling for votes You could measure his popularity by the increasing size of his nose A dancing puppet grafted in wood Controlled by strings operated from above
