lyrics

Well, my thirst to exercise
my democratic right
has been thwarted

My local polling station
is under intimidation
I am taunted

By shadowy figures
And threatening liggers
called Eric and Steven and Darren
Otherwise known around these parts
as the burly men of Annan

Well I have to confess
I was in a right mess
I was anxious and fractious
and fearful

They shot me a glance
I near wet my pants
I was shaking and quaking
and tearful

Oh those shadowy figures
And threatening liggers
called Eric and Steven and Darren
Otherwise known around these parts
as the burly men of Annan

I phoned my friend Ruth
to tell her the truth
so she could alert the nation

She fired off a tweet
to the cyber elite
warning of the infestation

I wiz worried aw jings
But Ruthy said things
could only get better
together vote early
avoiding those burly
men in their Arran sweaters

the gates were wrought iron not pearly
their overall demeanour was surly
chewing on a curly wurly
those Annan men ever so burly

In this land of sticks and carrots
We're opening up the postal ballots
With a crowbar, cos we can
I'm the surly burly man.
