FLY TIPPING
The tune is a mish-mash of "Star Trekking" and "While We were Marching through Georgia". But the real debt is to Pam Ayres's "Littering" and to the dirty bastards who've dumped crap down our local country roads.
Fly tipping – we’re out for a nice ride
Fly tipping – the van is full inside
We’d have to pay at dumpit sites so blight the countryside
We’re your friendly fly tippers.
Two squashed moggies, mongrel bitch,
Dirty mags, plastic bags,
Mangle and a Hotpoint fridge,
Dumped beside a ditch.
Rolls and rolls of Baco Foil
Cans of oil, nappies soiled
Bags of turves and garden spoil
And contraceptive coil.
Fly tipping – we feel we play our part
Fly tipping – it’s just a form of art
John Constable did haywains and a Suffolk applecart
Our medium is fly tipping.
Busted donkey bought in Spain,
Weather vane, Hornby train,
With a lion that’s lost its mane
Down your country lane.
Baggy trousers, de-mob suit,
Rotting fruit, one old boot,
Kid’s tin drum and half a flute,
That once played root-toot-toot.
Fly tipping – down all our country lanes
Fly tipping – our rubbish and remains
Contemptuous and ignorant we shit on your domain
We are England’s fly tippers.
Asbestos, empty tins of peas,
Cardboard boxes, old settees,
Tampons, condoms, blocks of breeze,
Black bags of dog faeces.
Stereos and broken fans
Baked bean cans, pots and pans,
Stockings worn by trans and grans
Cars and burnt out vans.
Fly tipping – we’re out for a nice ride
Fly tipping – the van is full inside
We’d have to pay at dumpit sites so blight the countryside
We’re your friendly fly tippers.

Thankyou Stephen. On a general level I have always opposed capital punishment. But I would make an exception for fly tippers.
