Repeat after me I am free
1.
Say hello / say sorry
Blow your nose / kiss auntie
Wash your hands / brush your teeth
Stop giggling / go to sleep
Do what I say
Do your homework / pass your exam
Only one sweet / say thank you Mum
Clean up your mess / hurry up quick
And for God’s sake / stop being sick
Now repeat after me
Yes
You are free / you are free / you are free
2.
Go to work / be model
Feed your kids / act normal
Don’t protest / watch TV
No U turn / drive gently
Do what is said
Follow fashion / don’t jump the queue
Don’t drink too much / and flush the loo
Obey the law / respect the Crown
Pay your taxes / vote for the clown
Now repeat after me
Yes
We are free / we are free / we are free
3.
Go shopping / hold the door
Keep smiling / to neighbour
Walk the dog / comb your hair
Don’t park here / one way there
Do what you should
Stop your habits / and addictions
And what about / your obsessions
You’re free to think / you are silly
But you’re silly / to think you’re free
Now repeat after me
Yes
I am free / I am free / I am free

“Go to work, send yours kids to school
Follow Fashion, act normal
walk on the pavement,
watch t.v.
save your old age,
obey the law
Repeat after me : I am free”
