Anti-apartheid comedy song

Danny | 02.05.2007 23:26 | Anti-racism | Palestine

This is a direct pastiche (ie rip-off) of an anti-South African Song from the 80's performed on the satirical show 'Spitting Image'. Although a direct anology to Israel, it feels quite daring making that comparison because I know this will earn me the label 'anti-semite'. I love and respect every Jew and Israeli I have ever met though - I do fight Nazis but hate what the Israeli state has become. Apologies for confusing younger people who never heard the original but this song did partly shame that apartheid into submission.

I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru
I've had sunshine in the arctic and a swim in Timbuktu
I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yeti in Nepal
And I've danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall
But I've never met a nice Zionist
No he's never met a nice Zionist
And that's not bloody surprising is it ?
Cause we're a bunch of arrogant bastards
Who hate all arab people.
I once got served in Woolies after less than four week's wait
I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late
I know a public swimming bath where they don't piss in the pool
I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school
I've met a normal merman and a fairly modest German
But I've never met a nice Zionist
No he's never met a nice Zionist
I've never been quite that pissed
'Cause they're a bunch of talentless murderers
Who smell like baboons
I've had a close encounter of the twenty-second kind
That's when an alien spaceship disappears up your behind
I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings
I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings
I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig
But I've never met a nice Zionist
No he's never met a nice Zionist
I'll never cross that one off my list
Cause they're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths
With no sense of humour - ha ha
I've met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred Astaire
At the BBC in London he's the chief commissionaire
I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies
I met a man in Kathmandu who claimed to have two willies
I've had a nice Pot Noodle but I've never had a poodle
And I've never met a nice Zionist
No he's never met a nice Zionist
That'd be a really surprising twist
Because we've never met one either
Except for Mordechai Vanunu and he's on their death list.
Yes he's quite a nice Zionist
And he's hardly ever killed anyone
And he's not smelly at all
That's why they put him prison
