262
I hear it said Theresa needs to go, quick and clean
“She’s got no right to govern with seats of just 318”;
But does it ever occur unto you,
How come that Jezza does with 262?
I know that I’m no Mastermind nor am I entirely green;
It baffles me a little though why it is May’s 318
Is thought to be a number too few
Compared with Jezza’s fewer 262.
They say she has no mandate; they say that’s what they mean;
She lost a good majority and won just 318;
But help me out understanding the view
That Jezza Corbyn does with 262.
Each time I hear the call from Lefties, well I have to laugh
They chant the mantra of their arithmetic schoolboy gaffe;
Each night I ask the stars up above
The sums that mean they’ll give Theresa the shove.

MC. I confess I've had a soft spot for Rees-Mogg for a while, even though my politics don't overlap his. Politics needs people like him along with a couple of my other favourites, Boris and Diane Abbott.
Your Everly Bros suggestion for a R-M parody uses a source a good bit older than mine, which will no doubt soon be revealed.
