Written by:Ben Bruce[00:00:01]
This one is the story of Harry Pollitt[00:00:01]
Harry Pollit was at one time[00:00:03]
A very influential member[00:00:05]
Of the Communist Party in England[00:00:07]
Until he was finally throwm out[00:00:11]
And when they threw him out[00:00:12]
They wrote a song about him as if he were dead[00:00:14]
And it goes like this[00:00:17]
Harry Pollit was a work one of Lenin's lads[00:00:21]
He was foully murdered by those counter revolutionary cads[00:00:25]
Counter revolutionary cads counter revolutionary cads[00:00:29]
He was foully murdered by those counter revolutionary cads[00:00:33]
Old Harry went to heaven[00:00:36]
He reached the gates with ease[00:00:38]
Said May I speak with Comrade God[00:00:40]
I am Harry Pollitt please[00:00:42]
I'm Harry Pollitt please[00:00:43]
I'm Harry Pollitt please[00:00:45]
May I speak with Comrade God[00:00:47]
I am Harry Pollitt please[00:00:49]
Who are you said Saint Peter[00:00:51]
Are you humble and contrite[00:00:53]
I'm a friend of Lady Astors[00:00:54]
Well[00:00:56]
OK that's quite alright[00:00:56]
OK that's quite alright well[00:00:58]
OK that's alright[00:01:00]
You're a friend of Lady Astor well[00:01:02]
OK that's quite alright[00:01:04]
They put him in the choir[00:01:05]
But the hymns he did not like[00:01:07]
So he organized the angels[00:01:09]
And he led them out on strike[00:01:11]
Led them out on strike[00:01:13]
Led them out on strike[00:01:15]
He organized the angels[00:01:17]
And he led them out on strike[00:01:18]
One day when God was walking[00:01:21]
Around heaven to medidate[00:01:22]
Who should he see[00:01:24]
But Harry chalkin' slogans on the gate[00:01:26]
Chalkin' slogans on the gate slogans on the gate[00:01:28]
Who should he see[00:01:31]
But Harry chalkin' slogans on the gate[00:01:32]
Well they brought him up for trial[00:01:35]
Before the Holy Ghost[00:01:37]
For spreadin' disaffection[00:01:39]
Amongst the heavenly hosts[00:01:41]
Amongst the heavenly hosts[00:01:43]
Amongst the heavenly hosts[00:01:44]
For spreadin' disaffection[00:01:46]
Amongst the heavenly hosts[00:01:48]
Well the verdict it was guilty Harry said[00:01:50]
Ah well[00:01:53]
And he tucked his nightie 'round his knees[00:01:54]
And he drifted down to hell[00:01:56]
Yes he drifted down to hell[00:01:58]
He drifted down to hell[00:02:00]
He tucked his nightie 'round his knees[00:02:02]
And he drifted down to hell[00:02:04]
Now seven long years have passed[00:02:06]
Harry's doing swell[00:02:08]
He's just been made[00:02:10]
The first people's commissar for soviet hell[00:02:11]
Commissar of soviet hell commissar of soviet hell[00:02:14]
He's just been made[00:02:17]
The first people's commissar of soviet hell[00:02:19]
