lyrics

Hi Judy, we hear you’re wearing Zac’s ring – is it true?
Well, I might be and I might not be – it’s too upsetting to talk about
Oh go on tell us, where’d ya meet him

I saw him on a street corner talking to a crowd with passion
His clothes they were slightly weird – not exactly the height of fashion
But something about him called to me, and I knew I just had to listen
I walked up and pushed the crowd aside
Then I grabbed him and I kissed him

He was so tall and really good looking
We were under the sheets in no time, we were really cooking
He was so down to earth – not at all arty-farty
That’s why I fell for him – my Leader of the Party

My Dad said he was just a clown
He was always trying to put Zac down
Zac’s Mum said I was really tarty
But it was love for me and him – my Leader of the Party

(spoken) And then I saw him on TV – don’t look! don’t look!
He was laughing with Cameron – oh no!
and Milliband – no! no!
and Clegg – no! no! no!
and even Farage – screams!!
He’d become one of them!

I knew right then, it was over between us
I’ve got my principles – he took me to the cleaners
I thought he was radical – now he’s sipping his latte
With all those other political prats – my Leader of the Party

He begged me “please don’t go away”
I cried and said “I just can’t stay”
But deep inside it was breaking my heart(y)
I’ll never forget him, my Leader of the Party
She’ll never forget him, the Leader of the Party

Leader of the Party – you sold out
Leader of the Party – you broke her heart
Leader of the Party – you sold out
Leader of the Party – you broke her heart
